What to Wear & 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.
