💡 Tips from Dan

Your Road Warrior Guide

•Be sure to wear sturdy shoes for the hike and bring plenty of water.
•Pack a picnic to enjoy amidst the plateau's stunning vistas, but remember the leave-no-trace principles.
•While the historical context is intriguing, remember to discuss it with your kids in a way that respects the site's past.
•If possible, visit during the warmer months, as the area can be challenging to navigate during the snowy season.
•Don't forget to bring your camera to capture the breathtaking scenery.
