Nighttime walking: Outdoor lighting is limited — carry a flashlight after dark
Drinking water: Bring plenty for your group, especially for outdoor time or exploring
Desert driving preparedness: Sharp rocks, thorns, and debris can cause flats. We strongly recommend:
• Properly inflated spare tire
• Jack, lug wrench, and any vehicle-specific tools/adapters
• Cell service can be spotty — self-sufficiency is essential
