Dress in layers. Start with a t shirt, then a long sleeve shirt, then maybe a flannel. Hiking boots are a must, ones to give you more a sure footing. Always a thicker pair of socks to cushion being on your feet a long time. It will help to prevent blisters. Carharts are good wind breaking pants. Choose a jacket that gives you mobility, with a hood. Mittens with the flip top fingertips. Your hands stay warmer when they are together, not like gloves where the fingers are seperated. A scarf for strong winds.

Air temperature drops about one degree Celsius for each 200 meters (2.7°F per thousand feet) of elevation gain in the mountains. Mountain weather can change very rapidly, so you should carry clothing for a wide range of weather conditions. Wearing layers of clothing makes it easy to adjust to sudden changes in temperatures. I’ve been caught in many summer snowstorms and blazing winter sunshine in the Rocky Mountains.

Depends on the altitude and time of year. Living at 6500 feet is certainly different than 20 minutes away at 10,000 feet.
The best is to dress in layers so you can adjust your comfort level accordingly.

I would recommend layers so you can change your temperature... the zip-off pants to shorts are great... make sure your outer layer is waterproof and windproof!
