Planning Notes

Active experiences need the right route logic. We do not force them into itineraries where transfers or park rules make them weak.
Weather, footwear, local regulations, and ranger guidance all affect how enjoyable the activity will be.
The guide or ranger has the final call where safety or conservation rules are involved.
