The Experience
Before You Go
Wear supportive hiking boots
The main hiking trail covers about 5 miles with moderate elevation changes, so sturdy footwear with good grip is essential.
Hydrate thoroughly
Altitude and dry desert air can accelerate dehydration; carry at least 2 liters of water and drink regularly during hikes.
Pack layered clothing
Temperatures can swing dramatically from morning to evening; prepare with moisture-wicking layers and a warm insulating jacket.
Use sun protection
Open viewpoints expose hikers to intense sun. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat will help prevent sunburn.
