  • •Water filter (numerous water sources but must be treated)
  • •Sturdy, waterproof hiking boots
  • •Warm sleeping bag (nights can be cold at elevation)

✓ Recommended Gear

  • •Trekking poles (essential for the relentless elevation change)
  • •Gaiters for river crossings and snow travel
  • •Ice axe and microspikes (for early season or late lingering snow)
