💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •When visiting Burr Trail, the best times are spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) when temperatures are milder and wildflowers or fall foliage enhance the scenery. Wear sturdy hiking boots and dress in layers, as temperatures can fluctuate dramatically. Bring plenty of water, snacks, a map, and a camera for the breathtaking views, particularly at the switchbacks and overlooks. For the best photo opportunities, visit during the golden hours—early morning or late afternoon—when the light beautifully illuminates the canyon walls. Be mindful of local wildlife and adhere to Leave No Trace principles to preserve the natural beauty. Lastly, be aware of the remote nature of the area; cell service is limited, so inform someone of your plans before heading out.
What Dan Packs

Black Diamond Trekking Poles
EssentialDan swears by these for steep descents. Your knees will thank you.
Katadyn Water Filtration System
Most hikers underestimate how much water they need. This is lighter than carrying it all.
Darn Tough Merino Hiking Socks
EssentialCotton kills. Merino regulates temperature and prevents blisters on long hikes.
