Your trip with Four Season Guides is sure to be one you'll never forget, but a big part of having lots of fun is being well prepared!

Our season runs year round, please keep in mind the season of your trip when packing, not all of this list will apply to your trip. Personal Clothing (Year Round):
Hiking boots ? well broken in!! Mid-weight boots with ankle support are best. Sport sandals ? consider Keen?, Teva? or Chaco? brands. These are for camp comfort as well as walking/hiking
through water. Lightweight long pants/trousers ? for sun protection and warmth during cooler parts of the day. 1 or 2 pairs of shorts (nylon, quick drying) Underwear 2 tee shirts ? cotton is great for warm weather hiking, nylon/synthetic is best for cooler months 2 pairs of hiking socks ? consider Smartwool?, Fox River? or similar.
