Things to do

There will time to go play on Saturday. Here are a few recommendations. -Bear county, if you go for hike/ bike bear spray is a good idea. Mike and I have a few you barrow and show you how to use. -Please do not feed ANY wildlife and remember we are in their home. -If you are coming from lower elevations, please drink lots of water. It will help adjust to higher elevation, the park is at 6200 feet. FYI alcohol will hit you quicker. -Weather, at this time year it can be sunny and 75 or snowy and 35. Please do your sun dances! The average high is 65 and low 33. Nights will be cool to cold. It is very common for nights to below 32 degrees. Fall will have arrived by this time, lets hope for fall colors. -Limited cell phone coverage.
