IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS: This hiking tour is for physically fit and experienced hikers only. Guests MUST be able to hike unassisted on varied and rough terrain for 6 to 7 hours, starting at 10,000ft, with an elevation loss of 3,000ft, then an elevation gain of 1,500ft. The temperatures can vary between 30 degrees with wind chill to 85 hot & steamy degrees, and the weather can go from sunny and hot to freezing pouring rain in a matter of minutes. Guest MUST wear sturdy hiking shoes or boots, layered synthetic clothing (no cotton, no blue jeans), have a rain jacket, a sweater/hoodie, a hat, and carry a backpack with their pack lunch and AT LEAST 2 liters of water per person—there is a water refill station at the lower visitor center. We provide snacks, picnic lunch, extra water bottles, and hiking poles. If you need a backpack or another piece of equipment, let us know in advance so we can make arrangements.
For safety reasons, we fully reserve the right to modify the hiking plan at anytime before or during the tour, and go on two in-and-out hikes (instead of the long 7-hour hike) if we consider that a guest does not have the proper equipment or required physical condition to complete the long hike.
