There will be red cloth flag strips along the route in to help guide you. Signs will be posted. You know you are close when you see markers that say, Sabal Palm Wildlife Sanctuary, which is next door to Casa de Colores. It will be humid. Dress cool and bring your water container.
Evenings are also hot, but a little cooler.
There is usually a nice wind along the Rio Grande River. Meals will be provided three times a day free of charge. Casa de Colores has a experienced in-house chef that will be overseeing meal preparation and kitchen activities. Vegetarian and vegan meals will be provided in addition to meals for the meat eaters. Please try to bring your own eating utensils, if possible.
