Speaking of being unprepared, I had an acquaintance who was moving to Colorado. He was still on his journey when he passed a mountain trail and decided to take a hike with his dog. He was unaware that an early blizzard was on its way. His dog made it out OK. They found him in the spring.

Back in the 60’s I visited the Grand Canyon on a cross country trip.
Weather was clear as I headed north on 89 from Flagstaff and visited the canyon. Then the snow hit. Route 64 had about an inch on the highway and I was the first one on it. No tire marks to follow. Met a car going north and we both inched around each other.
Hit the interstate and east bound traffic (uphill) was stopped. Luckily I was going west bound and kept going.
