In July, August and September wear medium clothing, with light
wraps. In October and November wear warm clothing, with heavy wraps. The nights are cool at all seasons. Dusters are always advisable, and ladies should provide some light head covering to protect the hair from dust. Sun bonnets are frequently worn. Short skirts are most convenient. Divided skirts are proper for trail trips, as ladies are required to ride astride. Heavy denim for skirt and bloomers is very satisfactory. Such skirts can be hired in the Valley. Waists of soft material and neutral shades are appropriate. Avoid white. Something absolutely soft for neckwear will be found a great comfort, both by men and women. Leggings, stout, comfortable shoes, and heavy, loose gloves, will be found very serviceable. A soft felt hat is preferable to straw. One that will shade the eyes is best. A cloth traveling cap is the worst thing to wear. Smoked glasses will sometimes save the wearer a headache. Except in April, May and November, an umbrella is apt to be a useless encumbrance. |
