Winter weather conditions in the mountains are unpredictable, so always be prepared. Stay on designated roads and trails and respect private property boundaries. Be prepared for slick, snow-packed roads and carry chains. BLM recommends a 4-wheel drive vehicle or a snow machine in many locations. Let someone know where you are planning to go and the approximate time you will return. Remember to carry a cell phone, bring additional warm clothing, gloves, boots, a container of hot liquid, water, and a lunch or snack. Carry a flashlight, shovel, first-aid kit, matches, a hatchet, axe or handsaw, and rope to secure your tree.
Have a safe and enjoyable holiday season!
