Always Adventure Safe with Frank & Morris
Bring Enough Water
Every season in Utah’s dry climate requires bringing adequate water. The daily temperature and intensity of adventure dictate how much. Make sure to calculate and plan for your needs.
Check Conditions
Check forecasts, flash flood, fire danger and avalanche warnings before heading out. Pack for unexpected weather. Research road, trail and water conditions. Start early to avoid midday heat or being out after dark.
Stay on the Trail
It’s easy to become disoriented or wander onto precarious terrain. Stay on the trails and respect all safety barriers. Always carry a map or a GPS system, cell service often fails in remote areas.
Know Your Limits
Altitude changes and extreme temperatures can impact your abilities. Check trail difficulty, take breaks and turn around if needed. Go with a guide if you're using new equipment or exploring unfamiliar activities or terrain.
Dress Appropriately
Clothing needs change depending on season and activity. Always consider sun protection, bring extra layers and dress for safety with proper footwear and protective gear like helmets, life jackets, eye protection and gloves.
Tell a Friend
Before heading out, let someone know your plans: where you’re going, who you’re going with and when you’ll be back. Turn on location sharing, but be prepared for limited cell service.
