With your chains, if you haven't yet, practice a bit at home so you're not scratching your head trying to figure them out while you're knee-deep in muck.
And bring some basic recovery gear (you can pick that up here too): A sturdy shovel, rope, traction aids, shackles. A battery booster pack can be handy too, especially if you're off the beaten path.
And like Savage Bacon says - let us know how you make out! Hope you have a great time up here.

Thanks. I grew up in Ft. Erie, ON and in winter chains were a regular part of life for me.
Great idea about the battery booster pack! I had one, but it crapped out on me; I need to order another one.
For the truck I just installed a Grille Bar, 12,000 lb winch, LED light bar, and LED fog lights for this trip.
