Mountain Weather
Bring warm, comfortable layers of clothing for changing mountain temperatures. The Mountain is at an elevation of 4,200 feet and can receive extreme weather any month of the year.
Drugs & Alcohol
All Gay Spirit Visions events are drug and alcohol-free, and we ask that you leave all alcohol and non-prescription drugs at home. The experience of being in the company of spiritually–oriented gay men in a beautiful mountain setting is itself mind and consciousness altering.
