Question

What kind of weather can we expect?

Answer

In general, high altitude weather is unpredictable. That said, in September, you can expect a lot of sunshine and mild temperatures. Late summer temperatures are generally in the 70s during the day and 50s at night. The wind is a constant companion in this area and it can get chilly and be rainy.

Question

What kind of clothing should I bring?

Answer

See the Weekend Schedule Tab for information about wedding activity attire. In general, we are hoping to keep things festive and comfortable. We do not recommend high heels for the wedding events as we will be on dirt and meadow surfaces for most events. Suits are not necessary, but jackets are recommended. During the day, we recommend jeans, hiking pants and shirts, sun shirts, and layering up during both the day and evening. Hiking shoes/boots are recommended for those wandering the trails. Don’t forget a sweatshirt or sweater and rain coats.

Question

What else should I consider bringing?

Answer

Sunscreen is a must and water bottles are very helpful. Be sure to bring a hat for the constant sunshine. Binoculars are great as you will definitely see some wildlife.

Question

Any other helpful hints?

Answer

We recommend taking it easy at the start of your visit in order to acclimate to the elevation. It can take you by surprise and you may be tired or find it a bit hard to catch your breath. That’s natural!
