"Packing List" Utah Packing List Tip by KimberlyAnn

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Sturdy hiking boots and a good telescoping hiking stick are invaluable if you are planning hikes into the more difficult terrain. Even for short easy hikes, comfortable walking shoes are mandatory at all times. A good sun hat can be of value at any time of the year.

Photo Equipment: Be prepared to carry your camera equipment; so do not pack along anything you are not willing to carry while hiking. A zoom telephoto lens such as a 28-200 or 28-300 is good to carry. If you do not wish to carry a tripod, a hiking stick with unipod capabilities will add some extra stability for that shot.
