3 THINGS YOU NEED FOR EVERY VAIL SUMMER ADVENTURE
Summer is in full swing, and we at Sage Outdoor Adventures are thrilled to share the stunning Colorado high country with all our guests. From our exhilarating Vail rafting trips to thrilling side-by-side ATV rides, the beauty and excitement of the Vail area are unmatched. As we navigate through this beautiful season, we’re reminded daily of the unique charm and adventure that summer in Colorado brings.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned adventurer, preparation is key to making the most of your experience. The rugged beauty of the Rockies demands respect and readiness. To ensure your adventure is as smooth and enjoyable as possible, we’ve compiled a list of three essential items that are easy to overlook but crucial for any Colorado summer outing. These items will help you stay comfortable, safe, and ready to tackle whatever the day throws, whether navigating rapids or exploring mountain trails.
-
Sunblock
In the Colorado high country, the sun comes full-strength. If you appreciate your skin, don’t leave home or your hotel room without it. We’ve seen plenty of folks put a damper on their trip by getting burned on the first day. Whether you’re out for a couple of hours of a full day of rafting, take the time to apply some sunblock, even if you don’t burn easily. Don’t underestimate the power of the summer sun here at altitude.
-
Sunglasses
Again, the sun at high elevations in the Rockies runs hot. It can be hard on your eyes if you’re not wearing UV protection. Glare from water and snow can be especially harmful. Be sure to pack a pair of sunglasses when you set out for a day of adventuring. If you’re headed for the river, don’t forget sunglass straps!
-
Water Bottle
The arid Colorado climate and the high altitude combine to cause quick dehydration. Headaches are the most common reaction to altitude. Fortunately, drinking plenty of water is usually the best prevention. To limit the large amount of waste generated by plastic bottles, remember to bring your own reusable water bottle on each day’s adventure.
