Ultimate Summer Day Hike Packing List

When going for a day hike in the summer you will want to have the following:

  • Backpack

  • Rain jacket or wind shell

  • Backpack cover

  • Merino wool socks

  • First aid kit

  • Hat

  • Buff

    Moisture Wicking Clothes and Boots/Shoes

    Make sure you have lightweight, moisture-wicking shirts, pants, and even underwear. This will make your hike much more comfortable and thus, enjoyable. For shoes, it is always a personal preference but, choose something suitable for the terrain. I opt for trail runners since they are light and breathable but, some hikers prefer boots for the sturdy ruggedness and ankle protection they provide.

    Pro Tip: Bring a long sleeve, moisture-wicking t-shirt for added protection from UV rays and against bugs such as ticks.
