Details to review before reserving
Prepare for changing conditions: bring plenty of water (altitude affects hydration), sunscreen, and a small cooler if you want drinks and snacks; wear closed‑toe shoes or boots — no sandals or flip‑flops.
Closed‑toe shoes or boots are required; sunscreen is recommended to protect against sun exposure at elevation.
Because altitude changes can increase dehydration, bring plenty of water for yourself and your party.
You may bring a small cooler for water and snacks; leave loose or unsafe items secured for trail riding.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
