💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •For the best experience at Kennecott Copper Mine Overlook, plan your visit during the late spring to early fall months (May to September) when the weather is milder and visibility is optimal. Dress in layers, as temperatures can fluctuate, and wear sturdy shoes for potential short walks. Bring binoculars for a closer look at the massive open-pit mine and a good camera to capture the stunning views; sunrise and sunset provide particularly dramatic lighting for photos. Be mindful of the area’s altitude and stay hydrated, as the elevation can affect some visitors. Finally, respect the site's history and natural surroundings—stay on designated paths and avoid littering to preserve this unique landscape for future visitors.
What Dan Packs
Based on what you'll be doing, Dan recommends:
Compact Tripod
For sunrise/sunset shots. The lighting here is incredible but you need stability.
