Please make sure you follow the advice. If by chance you need emergency assistance and F&G feels you have not prepared for the hike, you may be facing a huge bill for rescue efforts!

Even in the middle of the summer, it can get below freezing with damaging wind chill factors.

I don't plan a day to hike. I watch when the weather will be clear at the top and go. The top is almost always in the clouds.
