PERSONAL PACKING LIST

When packing clothes for a trip into the backcountry, we recommend staying away from cotton as it doesn’t dry as quickly as synthetic materials.  Pack both warm weather and cold weather clothing.  Temperatures in the high country and other backcountry areas can fluctuate dramatically when the sun goes down.  Layers are your friend in the backcountry.  We include everything you need for car camping except for personal items. Consider this list of personal essentials.
