Packing List
The Rocky Mountains are a wondrous beauty to behold, but the weather can be unpredictable due to the altitude (just above 7,500 feet above sea level). You will need to bring clothing and gear for a variety of conditions and activities.

• Comfortable jeans and/or lightweight breathable pants
• T-shirts—100% synthetic works best
• Socks—wool or synthetic that properly fit your footwear
• Layered clothing—long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, fleece jacket, windbreaker/raincoat—lightweight synthetic breathable materials are best
• Hiking boots
• Warm gloves
• Hat for sun protection
• A nice, white, collared shirt and slacks for manhood ceremony

Toiletries

• Sunscreen—the sun can be very strong at higher altitude
• Razor
• Comb or brush
• Toothbrush and toothpaste
• Lip balm
• Prescription medications (if needed); bring extras for emergencies
• Contact lens solution
• (opt) Insect repellent—products containing DEET work best, but pack it carefully as it will dissolve most plastics!

Gear:

• Nalgene water bottle or equivalent
• Daypack—lightweight and large enough to carry extra clothes, water and food
• Sun-glasses
• Bandana
• Camera and batteries
