What to Wear and Bring:

  • On the train: Dress in layers. As you head up to the high country the temperature can drop and change drastically. Snow is possible even in July! Bring a warm jacket, warm hat, rain gear, sunscreen, sunglasses, snacks, water and, of course, your camera!
  • On the river: Wear quick drying clothes such as a swimsuit and nylon shorts in the summer. Wetsuits and wetsuit boots are recommended prior to mid-June, after Labor Day and on rainy days (we won’t cancel your fun when Mother Nature adds to it!). Wetsuit boots are recommend all season long, or shoes with a strap that can get wet will do.

Important Considerations:

  • Keep in mind you are doing your most active part of the package at the end of the day. At higher altitudes, guests often find this tiring. We recommend the Rivers, Trails n’ Rails package when possible.
  • Kids 4 and under can ride on the train for free if you want to save the money (it is a long ride though!).
  • Wear dark clothes because of the soot from the train.
  • Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from cinders that can come from the steam engine.
  • We recommend the open air gondola for summer trips.
  • You can bring your own snacks for the train, but alcohol is not allowed.
