I think starting your ride around 10 AM is perfect. You get the best weather, and it's less crowded too. Plus, it gives you plenty of time to enjoy lunch afterward!

I suggest aiming to arrive around 9 AM. It’s way less crowded then, and you can get some stunning pictures before the tours roll in.

don’t forget to bring a packed lunch! there are limited food options up there, and you’ll want to avoid those overpriced snacks at the station.

I recommend checking the weather online before you go. The conditions can change quickly, and I learned the hard way it’s not fun snowkiting in a storm!

I suggest wearing layered clothing. The weather can change quickly. On my ride, I got too chilly at one point! Layer up and you'll be set for anything.

If you're looking to save some cash, check out their combo deals. I bought a horseback riding and a dinner package, which was way cheaper than booking them separately.
