Light layers are recommended.  If you have to add or remove layers, be sure that they’re easily packed in a small day pack.

Comfortable shoes are key to your enjoyment of the hike.  Leave the flip flops at home. Hiking shoes or running shoes are ideal for what you’ll be doing.

Cameras are highly recommended.  You’re going to see some beautiful terrain while you’re out there.  Take some photos.

Yes, since hikes are private trips, we go at the pace of the slowest member in your group. Keep in mind that hikes are based on timing and not destination. Please let us know the ages of any children in your group so we can recommend the best options.

Mountain weather can be unpredictable. Hikes go out rain or shine, but may be adjusted, delayed, or rerouted for safety if conditions require. Safety is our priority, so we do make accommodations or even cancel on occasion. Cancellations are very rare so if it looks like rain, dress accordingly!
