PACKING LIST

Layering your clothing is the key to staying comfortable while hiking. Weather conditions can be unpredictable, so prepare for all possibilities, even if the forecasts promise sunny skies. Many of our trips camp at higher altitudes which mean cooler temperatures in the evenings. We recommend that you pack a duffel bag for easy storage in our trailer and mobility around camp. A small daypack can be used to carry items with you throughout the day.

* Optional but recommended

Lower Body

 If your tour is visiting Zion National Park in the summer or fall, it’s most likely we’ll hike “The Narrows”. Closed-toe hiking specific water shoes such as Keens or hiking boots work well. View this example here
