The Hike

• If you are not able to complete the hike, please let a volunteer at one of the restaurant stations know and we can arrange for transportation down to the base area.

Remember – this is not a race. Please be respectful of others who hike at a different pace. If you are hiking faster, please pass with care. If you want to take a break to enjoy the beautiful fall color or catch your breath, please stand to the side of the trail so others may pass.

Dogs

Though we love our four-legged friends, dogs are not encouraged at this event.

• The Colorado mountains experience rapidly-changing weather, especially in the afternoons, so be sure to dress accordingly. In case a shower rolls in during your hike, we suggest having a rainproof/windproof outer layer with you.
• A hat is recommended to protect you from the sun’s UV rays.
• We advise wearing hiking boots or durable walking shoes for the hike.
• Flip-flops and sandals are not recommended!
