As avid day hikers, we have spent so much time and energy finding the best gear to support our day hikes. Generally, our day hikes range between 3-10 miles in length. Below, we have the packing list we go through before each day hike. Reminder: this is not a backpacking (overnight) gear list, but rather a list to support a couple hours, or an all-day mountain adventure. We suggest printing this list and checking off each item as you prepare for your hike!
