What to bring

Eye Protection: Eye protection is legally required while off-roading. We recommend bringing your favorite pair of sunglasses for comfort and protection. If you don’t have any—or prefer something different—we do offer eye protection for all riders.

- Rain Jacket/ Extra Layers: Weather in the mountains can change quickly, especially at higher elevations. Rain gear and extra layers for warmth are highly recommended.

- Comfortable Shoes: You’ll likely want to hop out and explore some scenic spots—so be sure to wear shoes you’re comfortable walking around in.

- Face Covering: A face gaiter or bandana is a great idea for dusty conditions, which can occur depending on the weather and trail traffic.

- Snacks & Water: Please remember to hydrate and bring snacks for if you get hungry along the ride.

- Coolers and Ice: We do have coolers available for use, but please bring your own ice for cold beverages and food.

- Sunscreen and Bug Spray: These items are always good to keep on hand in the Colorado mountains!
