[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 825129, member: 55580"] To add on to that previous post of mine, I will say that you definitely have your work cut out for you to make a trip like this. It has been mentioned, but you need to make sure that you are in good shape as the altitude change coming from sea level is pretty extreme. You also need to make sure you get a good gathering of gear that will prepare you for temperatures ranging from 60 degrees and sunny to 0 degrees and snowing sideways. You will also want to be sure to do as much 'internet scouting' as you can once you pick which unit to hunt. I would get topo maps ahead of time and use google earth like crazy. Not that it will make all of the decisions for you, but it will definitely help get you into the right areas before you make it out. I would also plan to spend a few days scouting before your actual hunt, whether that is a separate trip out or it is a couple of days before you hunt. There are a bunch of other things as well, but this should at least give you a good start. Do some research on here as well as other sites and you should be able to find a ton of information.
