Packing List

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

Clothes

  • comfortable jeans and/or lightweight breathable pants
  • shorts
  • t-shirts — 100% synthetic works best
  • socks — we suggest wool or synthetic that properly fit your footwear
  • lightweight base layer (typically called long underwear)
  • mid layer (e.g. long sleeve shirt, hoodie/comfortable warm pants, fleece vest or jacket) — lightweight synthetic breathable materials are best
  • light hiking boots, trail shoes with ankle support.
  • a warm outer layer, preferably water resistant.
  • stocking cap for the very cool alpine conditions and for sleeping
  • hat for sun protection

Toiletries

  • personal travel items (shaving kit)
  • sunscreen — the sun can be very strong at higher altitude
  • insect repellent (your choice)
  • lip balm, or hand cream if desired
  • towel
  • prescription medications (if needed); bring extras for emergencies

Personal Gear:

  • warm beverage cup (plate and utensils are provided)
  • nalgene water bottle or equivalent
  • daypack — lightweight and large enough to carry extra clothes, water and food
  • sun-glasses

Fishing Gear:

  • one pair of quick-dry synthetic pants to be used for wade fishing
  • one pair of rubber soled sandals with good grip and support to be used for wade fishing.
  • Alternative to sandals and recommended-one pair of wading boots designed for wade fishing.
  • Please note: The water temperatures on the Arkansas River will range from mid 50’s to mid 60 degrees f. You may want to consider renting a pair of waders and boots from your local fly shop. Generally the cost is $30.00 per day with a discount for multiple days. Another option is to purchase an inexpensive pair of hip waders from your local big box store. Donot attempt to rent waders here in Colorado.

  • one long sleeved, quick dry shirt
  • one wide brimmed hat for sun protection

We are eager to host you at one of our outdoor adventure camps.
