Ranch attire is casual, but skirts, collared shirts, vests or jackets are encouraged at dinner. T-shirts, shorts, and athletic attire are not worn at dinner, and all hats come off in the dining room. The temperature can vary 40 degrees from day to night so clothing to layer works best. Drinking lots of water will help avoid dehydration and headache in our high altitude and low humidity conditions.

• Your saddle bags will hold what you need during the day on the trail, eg, water bottle, sun screen, lunch, and snacks.
• Overnight camps are at high altitudes, so nights and mornings can be below freezing in the middle of the summer. Bring warm jackets, gloves, and a knit cap.
• The wind blows energetically on the high plateaus. A stampede string on your cowboy hat avoids dismounts to chase hats across the mountains.
