Because you're riding at high altitudes in the Rocky Mountains, the weather can vary from warm sunshine, to sudden downpours, to cold wet snow. Trail Rides can encounter temperatures ranging from +5°C (41°F) to +25°C (77°F) during the day, and from +10°C (50°F) to -5°C (23°F) during the night, depending on the Ride date. We suggest the following list of articles to bring so you will be warm and comfortable, regardless of the weather.

1. •Toque
   

2. •Rain Hat
