The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in layers
High elevation means sun, wind and sudden showers; bring a breathable base layer, warm mid‑layer and waterproof shell.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Altitude can sap energy—drink water throughout the day and eat the provided snacks to keep blood sugar steady.
Respect boardwalk rules and wildlife distances
Stay on designated walkways and keep at least 100 yards from bears and wolves, 25 yards from other wildlife to protect both you and the animals.
Bring a telephoto and spare battery
The Cadillac provides comfort; a 200–300mm lens and extra batteries will capture wildlife and distant eruptions more effectively.
