Sunscreen
The sun’s rays are much more powerful in the mountains, so make sure to pack plenty of sunscreen. Look for sunscreens with an SPF of at least 30 and broad-spectrum protection to keep your skin safe from UVA and UVB rays.
Water Bottle
Staying hydrated is essential in the mountain air, so make sure to bring a water bottle. Look for a bottle that is insulated so that your water stays cool and refreshing, even on the hottest days.
Jacket
Even if it’s a sunny day, temperatures can dip quickly in the mountains — especially when the sun decides to spend some time behind the clouds — so make sure to pack a jacket or sweater. Look for a jacket that is lightweight and breathable, but still provides enough insulation to keep you warm.
Backpack or Bag
If you’re planning a mountain vacation, don’t forget to bring a backpack! A backpack is the perfect way to carry your belongings while you’re exploring the great outdoors. We recommend bringing a lightweight pack that’s big enough for all the essentials, like the ones mentioned above and any other items you’ll need throughout the day. A backpack also allows you to keep your hands free, so you can make the most of your mountain adventure.
