One of the most common summer travel mistakes in the Rockies is assuming you'll figure everything out when you arrive.
Sometimes that works.
Sometimes the campground is full, the tour is sold out, the restaurant has a two-hour wait, and the parking lot is already overflowing.
We're not suggesting you schedule every minute of your vacation. In fact, some of the best travel moments happen when plans change.
But if there are a few experiences you absolutely don't want to miss, it's worth booking those first and building the rest of your trip around them.
And if Plan A doesn't work out?
That's exactly what this week's Pivot Guide is for. Watch for it this Thursday.
