What to Know Before You Go

• Tell someone your plans: starting point, route, destination, and expected return time.
• Carry extra water, food, and clothing. Colorado weather can shift quickly, even in summer.
• Make sure your cell phone is fully charged before heading out.

For the cost of a CORSAR card, you help ensure trained, well-equipped rescue teams can respond when you need them most.
