What to Bring on Your Hike
Water.
And drink it!
A comfortable day pack.
I suggest one with a waist belt to take tension off your neck and shoulders.
Comfortable layers.
Dress in layers. It can be sunny yet cold. It can get windy. The weather changes very quickly up there!
Footwear
Comfortable footwear that you have worn before.
Socks
I suggest bringing an extra pair of socks.
NO COTTON!!!
Cotton will NOT keep you warm if it gets wet and that includes sweat.
Bring fast drying, moisture-wicking clothing that is comfortable.
Hat
A fuzzy, warm hat to keep those ears warm.
Trekking Poles.
Healthy snacks.
Ziploc bags
for your trash.
Leave NO Trace!!!!
That includes all fruits, seeds, peels, shells!!!
Pack it in...Pack it out!!!
Sunscreen!
Even if it is cloudy in the morning, put it on before you get in your car to come to hike. And put some more on before we begin the hike.
Feel free to bring anything else that will make your day more enjoyable!!!
Just remember, you've gotta carry it.
