The List:
- white or light colored shirts and jackets [much cooler in the sun]
- sunglasses & backups [high altitude, closer to UV rays] just sayin’
- hats/headgear that firmly attaches, and clearly covers
- jacket-light windbreaker [occasional high winds; breezes and coolness in evening–temp drops at night]
- closed toe shoes for hiking, and tromping around the river
- casual shoes for around water, cabin, travel
- swim stuff–we swim in it all the time. It’s essential to cool off on hot days.
- sunscreen
- lg towel [beach, cabin, shower] Dries out in an hour in the dry, arid air.
- lip balm/sunblock [trust me]
- sunscreen
- cash for personal use [marinas; convenience store 1 mi outside park; day trips on land]
The Elements:
- Air is very dry; day temps/70-90s–night temps/50-65s; 6000 ft altitude; high, gusty winds possible; rainstorms possible
- Terrain where pinion/cedar grow in sandy, rocky, volcanic soil with cactus, yucca.
- Water is generally clean and great to swim in–actually essential on very hot days for cooling down
Cautions: Dehydration [dry air]; Sunburn [closer to the sun, dry air]; Overheating [dry heat]
