Seriously, bring these with you when you go to any National Park or National Park Service site. You’ll thank yourself later.
I wish I had bought most of these when I started exploring the parks, but it turns out adventuring is about a bunch of failures leading to lessons learned. Whether it be sunburns, twisted ankles, or wet shoes, there’s so many items I now take with me to ensure that I both enjoy the visit, with leaving as minimal impact as possible.
So whether you’re just venturing into National Parks, or you’re a veteran explorer, I hope you find this list helpful for your next visit.
