What to Pack for Winter Lodging Trips
This comprehensive gear list has been thoughtfully curated to help you choose what to bring during the winter months. This is specifically for guests on our Winter Utah Mighty 5 Tour. We’ve partnered with Backcountry.com, a Salt Lake City based company, to provide our guests recommendations.
PACKING LIST
To ensure comfort on your winter lodging trip, layer your clothing throughout the day under a warm, insulated coat. Be prepared for a range of conditions—including snow—even if the forecast looks sunny. While you’re in the desert, winter temperatures can be very cold, especially in the mornings and evenings. Pack a duffel or roller bag for easy storage inside our trailer and convenient mobility around the lodge. We also recommend bringing a small daypack for your daily essentials.
