Rocky Mountain National Park Three Day Adventure

WEATHER: Temperatures in the summer months are typically cooler than the surrounding areas due to the higher elevation, with daytime temperatures averaging 65-85°F, while nighttime temperatures can drop to around 50-60°F. It’s important to be prepared for sudden changes in weather, including rain and wind.

YOUR GROUP: The group size ranges from 10 to 25 participants, plus 2 or more Wilderness Inquiry staff. Our groups consist of people of various ages, backgrounds, and abilities, including people with disabilities. We encourage cooperative participation, where everyone pitches in with camp chores as they are able.

ACCOMMODATIONS: At night, you’ll sleep in comfortable 4-person tents with 3-4 family members, though alternative arrangements can be made. Bathroom facilities include modern restrooms at the campground, and campsites will be equipped with essential amenities.

MEALS: Enjoy preparing meals together! Breakfast will include freshly brewed coffee, and lunches will feature hearty snacks for your hikes. In the evening, we’ll prepare dinner together over camp stoves and campfires, followed by s’mores. IF YOU HAVE SPECIAL DIETARY RESTRICTIONS, BE SURE TO LIST THEM ON YOUR REGISTRATION.

EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHING: Wilderness Inquiry will provide all group equipment. You will need to bring your personal gear as listed in the packing list. If you are new to outdoor activities, you don’t need to spend a lot of money—Wilderness Inquiry can often arrange to lend you most items.

MEDICATIONS: Please list all of your medications on your registration form. Consider bringing two sets of your medications: one set that can be kept with you, and another set that will be kept by your trip leaders. If you need assistance taking your medications, please explain on your registration form. Wilderness Inquiry will bring a collection of over the counter medications (ibuprofen, advil, anti-nausea, etc.). 

CELL PHONES AND OTHER DEVICES: You are welcome to bring cell phones and other devices like cameras, but they are your responsibility to take care of. You may have spotty cell service, so we’d encourage you to take the opportunity to unplug! Wilderness Inquiry isn’t responsible for any lost or broken electronic devices. 

CONTACTING TRIP PARTICIPANTS: If there is an emergency and you need to get in contact with your camper, please contact the Wilderness Inquiry main phone line at (612) 676-9400. We will work to get a message to the trip leaders. 

EMERGENCIES ON TRAIL: All Wilderness Inquiry guides carry current First Aid, CPR, and Water Safety Certifications and are trained on how to respond to emergency situations while on trail.
