Please let us know if you would like to review in advance and we will happily share a copy.
THE ROAD - The last stretch of road to the property is an unpaved, caliche road. SUV or truck is great but not necessary.

RAIN - A traditional tipi has a large opening at the top. There is no way to seal the tipi completely and it is possible that drop of water will enter.
AC - During the hotter months, the portable systems in the tipis and tents have a hard time keeping up with the heat and better function once the day begins to cool off. They will only cool 20 degrees below actual temp.

DARK SKIES - Pack a flashlight or headlamp to maneuver around after dark.
