FAQs
Plan for a strenuous experience at 7,000–7,500 ft elevation. Choose this tour only if you’re a well-prepared hiker, and consider your health carefully if you have heart or respiratory problems or other physical difficulties.
Children need to walk the full extent of the trails and climb all ladders on their own without difficulty. Carry infants in backpacks, and make sure the adult carrying a child can maintain mobility and balance.
Bring water and snacks, plus a camera, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and comfortable but sturdy footwear. Wear appropriate clothing since Colorado’s weather can be unpredictable.
