THE CHANGING WEATHER
In Colorado, they say if you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes. The weather can change abruptly and you need to be prepared for these things. The highest incidence of hypothermia occurs in the month of August. The key to dressing for the changing weather is to dress in layers. You will want to wear a T-shirt or light short sleeve shirt and have a heavier long sleeve shirt available to you, followed by a light jacket and rain gear. The sun can be intense at 11,000 feet! Sunscreen and a wide brimmed hat are essential. Our aim is to keep you warm and dry.
