We are taking a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park and I’m looking for suggestions on the best emulsion and/or filters to use. The -135 films I use in frequency of order are: FP-4, Tri-X and T-Max 400.

The filters I own are a yellow 2x, GGR 2-3x, a yellow 1.5X.

How would you shoot the summit? I don’t want the over dramatized red filter look.
 

RJ, I use both med yellow & orange. I own a red filter but can't remember the last time i used it.
This photo Fuji GW690lll/Tri-X/orange/. These days i use a lot of Tmax100 & Tmax 400
 
High SPF sun-screen!
Otherwise - what GregY suggests.
I'd bring along a polarizer as well, but would probably use it sparingly.
 
Rocky Mountain Park near the top has a broad flat area in the tundra zone but looking across at slopes with fir trees. I’m thinking the GGR filter or yellow 2x or deeper would be best. Orange would darken the fir trees to just black.
