i was out there 2 years ago fricken awesome! I am not sure but I think, dakota can correct me steamboat springs is low. but still higher than you may be used to. i was at 13500 and we did have some guys with altitude sickness. the weird thing is its hot here but when i went "same time " 2 years ago, it dropped into the 30's at night our dishrags were frozen when we got up. so.... my advice good boots good pack good gps. when you hike out in the am it will be cold by the end of the day you will be sweating your sak off. stay hydrated. guided or un guided ? pack a good knife MRE's are a good idea a good lenth of rope 100 foot, change of socks, save room as you strip off, good scent blocker, a good wind indicator, and a hoochie mama cow call. btw colo allows you to carry a handgun while archery hunting. just sayin
Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!
