What Do I Pack for a Hiking Trip?

Recently we did a blog post on the 10 Essentials that you should take on every hike.

Making sure we have everything on the list before a hike in the Alps

But what if you're going on an hiking vacation? You need more than 10 items, obviously, but what else do you pack?

On our website we have a complete list of everything you should take if you sign up for one of our USA hiking trips, as well as another comprehensive list for our trip to Switzerland. Those are two of the most popular pages on our website.

While we like to think we've thought of everything, we're always open to suggestions. Also, while this list is a good starting point for just about any hiking trip, there are certain things you'll need to add for different types of trips. For instance, if you're camping, you'll need a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, etc.

So take a look at the lists and let us know what you think. And be sure to join us for one of our hikes next year.

See you on the trails.
