Packing List and other Colorado Springs, CO Packing List Tips

Luggage And Bags: Take whatever bags you want!

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Bring comfortable walking shoes. COS has the ability to be 70 degrees F. one minute, and 30 degrees F. and snowing ten minutes later. (It happened just last year) So beware of that and be prepared with a jacket and long pants should the day cool off. Typically, when the sun dives behind Pikes Peak, it gets colder.
It's hard to say what the temperature will be when. Colorado is weird like that. Last year it was 70 degrees F. in February! and much colder in May. Summers are pretty warm to hot (80s, 90s) but don't get caught on the mountain without enough clothing!

Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Well, if you plan on hiking, biking or rafting, a first-aid kit is recommended. Other than that, whatever you'd normally bring. Be sure to drink a lot of water, as it is dry here and at 6000 feet.

Photo Equipment: Bring cameras and mucho film.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: You should check on regulations on camping in COS's parks. I'll try to post that here as soon as I can get the info.

Miscellaneous: Bring trailmix, gorp, or whatever you call it. It helps on the trails and goes well with water.
