Tips and Resources:
We'll be outside, consider bringing a refillable water bottle (reduce single-use plastic) and lawn chair or blanket.
Kids are welcome, although no specific kid-friendly activities are planned.
Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early to allow time to walk from the road to the Medicine Wheel.
A Land Rover will be available for mobility assistance over the uneven ground.
