A warm coat is essential for the evenings. • For outdoor excursions, layering is key so you can adjust to changing temperatures throughout the day.

Outdoor Gear: • A hat, scarf, and gloves are helpful for staying comfortable during cooler evenings or early mornings. • Sunglasses and sunscreen are still a must; the winter sun can be bright, and UV exposure is strong in the high desert. choice.
