High elevation can cause headaches and nausea.

Question

What is the cell phone/wifi situation?

Once you leave Kirkwood Village, there is pretty much no cell phone reception. There is wifi at the HideOut but it is very limited, so we ask you only sign on when you are using it and sign off again and not rely on it!

Question

Do I need to RSVP to each individual event?

Answer

Yes, please! This is the best way to make sure that we are amply prepared with food, drinks, transportation and good times!!!
