- WATER! - please bring plenty, regardless of level
of experience, it's our life blood out there. Hydration bladders or water bottles (ie. Nalgene bottles, etc)
work great!
- Sun Protection - there is little to no shade on this
trail so bring sunscreen and lip balm (SPF 30 is recommended), sunglasses, sun blocking clothing and
a hat
- Map - map of the trail
- First Aid Kit
- Nutrition - don't forget your fuel! Cliff bars and
Luna bars are a great example of convenient energy
- Equipment - Daypack - for everything above;
Trekking poles; multitool and or a comb (especially
for cactus)
- Footwear - comfortable boots with light to moderate support, synthetic or wool socks (yes wool, it's excellent
at wicking away moisture)
- Camera - We want to share these experiences with
the rest of NVC!
