Things to Consider When Packing

• You will likely be hiking, so a good pair of comfy shoes or hiking boots will be needed.
• At night it will get cold. Please bring appropriate clothing.
• At elevation you get sunburn quicker, bring sunscreen if you would rather not resemble a lobster, or at least a hat.
• At elevation you also will become dehydrated much faster than normal. Bring a water bottle and fill it frequently.

Other Important Info

For emergencies your families can call BTR directly at 719-632-0740 (office), or the guest phone in the cook hall at 719-636-9936. Only local calls are allowed. You must have a calling card to call long distance. Cell phones rarely, if ever, work at the ranch.

There are many different activities that BTR offers at an additional cost to you. For a list of the additional recreation options please visit Bear Trap Ranch.

If you have asthma or something similar please bring any medications you may need due to the high elevation.
