For those who need a little more structure, here is a pdf check list for packing:
Packing List for Day Hikes
My day hikes usually span 6-18 hrs, and tomorrow I kick off the season with my first longer hike of 12hrs. Hopefully this list covers it all.
Let me know if you have other items that you found essential to have in your backpack.
Happy Trails!
Thank you for stopping by. This blog is dedicated to beautiful and challenging trails of Northern California. Most of the hikes covered in this blog are in the- Bay Area, Yosemite, Eastern Sierras. If you're looking for a very detailed (turn by turn) type of information you can find it in a blog of my friend - a master mind behind these adventures at: http://www.scaruffi.com/ (especially useful for the Europeans as most distances are covered in km/meters).
