My advice is to download the trail map onto your phone before you go. Cell service can be spotty, and you'll want to stay on track!

Pack snacks and plenty of water but avoid the overpriced stuff at the visitor center. A sandwich from home goes a long way!

If you can, rent gear in advance. I found a great rental shop nearby that saved us a ton of money compared to getting it at the cliff. Also, the staff there gave us some awesome tips for the climb!

I recommend booking your sledding tour in advance, especially on weekends, to avoid any last-minute disappointment. They can fill up quickly!

Dress in layers! It gets pretty cold, so I'd suggest thermal clothing and waterproof boots. Trust me, you’ll thank me later for keeping cozy.

Bring some snacks and hot beverages, because you’ll want to keep warm while waiting for your turn. I found the wait longer than expected, but it was worth it!

I think you should try to get there early, like around 10 AM, to grab a good parking spot and soak up the vibe before the races kick off. It can get crowded!

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The food options can be on the pricey side, plus you'll save time standing in line.

I recommend looking for tickets online beforehand; we saved a few bucks that way, and it avoided a long queue at the entrance. Plus, you can sometimes find special promo codes.

I suggest checking the weather in advance – I learned the hard way when it rained unexpectedly, and it can really put a damper on the fun!

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. I ended up spending more than I wanted at the local store, and having some food on hand really makes the adventure smoother.

I recommend checking the weather before you go. I went when it was a bit rainy and the trails got muddy, which slowed us down a lot. A sunny day would’ve made for a way better ride!
