  • At high altitude, the sun is more intense so drink plenty of water and rest often. Bring sunscreen.
  • Bring treats, toys, fresh water with a collapsible bowl and doggie bags for the trip.
  • Use a sturdy leash for walking or securing your pet.
  • Have current ID tags and a well-fitting collar.
