Know Before You Go
Altitude & Accessibility
The Gardens are located at 8,200 feet. Guests who are not acclimated to higher elevations—especially those with heart, respiratory, or other health considerations—should plan accordingly. Paths are ADA accessible but may be uneven; sturdy footwear is recommended.
Weather Preparedness
Tours take place outdoors, rain or shine. Mountain weather can change quickly—please dress in layers and bring rain gear if needed. Shade is limited, so we recommend hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, and water.
