💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •For a memorable visit to Crystal Peak, the best times to hike are late spring through early fall, when trails are clear and wildflowers bloom. Wear sturdy hiking boots and dress in layers, as temperatures can fluctuate dramatically; a moisture-wicking base layer and a waterproof jacket are essential. Bring plenty of water, snacks, and a first aid kit for emergencies. Insider knowledge: starting early in the morning helps avoid crowds and offers the best lighting for photos at the summit. Capture panoramic views from the top, especially during sunrise or sunset for stunning shots. Always stay on designated trails to protect local flora and fauna, and be mindful of your surroundings to ensure safety, especially in rocky areas. Lastly, remember to pack out what you pack in to respect the pristine environment.
