What to wear: Dress for the weather (current and future) and dress in layers! You'll most likely want long pants/sleeves to protect yourself from the sun, dirt, and things that might make you itchy (mosquitos etc.). Avoid cotton when you’re able to and go with a synthetic material or wool.
Also remember to wear sturdy hiking shoes, good socks, a cool sun hat, and sunscreen!
What to bring in your day pack: Water, snacks, sunscreen, extra layers (long sleeve shirt, fleece), and also bring your waterproof jacket- weather can change fast in Colorado.
