Colorado Hiking: Safety First

Do your research in advance, make sure you know your environment. It’s very important to be aware of weather patterns that are in effect for the time of year for hiking Colorado, so you will know how to dress and when to head back from your adventure. Whenever humans interact with nature, there’s always a chance of injury. Make sure to put together a mini first aid kit in case something happens while hiking Colorado. It’s best to be familiar with the types of plants and wildlife in the area as this can be a great learning experience for the kids.
