Gear Tips for Full Season

⚠️ Required Gear

  • •Stove, because campfires are illegal across the whole east side
  • •Water filter or treatment, since giardia is common in these drainages
  • •Rain shell and warm layers for daily afternoon storms
  • •Map and compass, since cell coverage dies past the trailheads

✓ Recommended Gear

  • •Microspikes and an ice axe for early-season passes
  • •Weed-free feed documentation if you are bringing stock
  • •A backup zone in mind for sale morning

💡 Pro Tips

  • •Weigh your pack before you go. A lighter pack makes for a happier hike.
  • •Rent expensive gear if you are trying a new activity for the first time.
  • •Test all new gear at home before hitting the trail.
  • •Check current regulations as some items may be required seasonally.
