What is the attire?
No need to dress formally. We call it "Mountain Casual". Jeans, hiking pants, or casual pants with comfortable shirts/tops are your best bet, with layering for likely wind and temperature fluctuations.
Remember, there are only vault toilets available.
Be prepared to walk on dirt paths with comfortable walking shoes. Remember, at 9,000 feet above see level, the air can get a little cool, especially in the evening. The average high in this area is about 73 degrees and the lows can get down in the 40's once the sun goes down.
