Buying Christmas Gifts for my Wife is downright scary! Here is a quick list of the basics for spending a day hiking in the Rocky Mountains, I’ve learned that my wife loves items she can wear when we go adventure together.
Good hiking pants are a necessity. They can turn a trip into bagging a peak instead of heading back to the truck.
A good puffer is always in my bag. Coupled with a shell or a rain jacket you can withstand most weather.
I swear they hand these out to Rafties as a part of their uniform. These bags can take a beating, way better than carrying a purse around.
Chacos are the greatest summer shoes ever invented! You can hike all morning in them and then go jump in a raft for a sunset float. Chacos are a must have for anyone that spends time around water.
Nice socks to hike in makes a world of difference. This is one piece of gear that you can tell the difference in between cheap socks and a more expensive pair.
Unless you are hiking really technical routes or spending days on the trail, hiking shoes are way better than boots. You can also wear them around town and get more use out of them.
These are the official hiking shorts of Glacier National Park. All of the seasonal workers out logging miles on the trails wear biker shorts and have a pair of hiking pants in their backpack.
Have to take care of that skin!! These lightweight sun shirts come in handy when you’re out on the water all day or exposed up on the mountain tops. They’re great when it gets buggy too.
A good sports bra and some biker shorts makes those hot days scrambling up in the mountains bearable.
