THE SHORT ANSWERChoose one weather-dependent outdoor anchor per day and keep a lower-elevation substitute. Choose one fixed morning anchor, keep lunch in the same district, and protect the evening from unnecessary cross-city travel. Snow, wind, wildfire and trail conditions decide whether Catedral, boat and backcountry plans operate; verify the exact operator on the same day.
