I often travel to National Parks (I’m on the east coast so I have to pack light and make a week of it). These items I’ve brought with me on multiple trips and have used in about 10 parks!

Another must have for my trips. I wear these 2-3 times before they need a rinse. They’re especially good for any climbing because they won’t be falling down and have a few loops to hook lightweight items on. I’ve also used these when horseback riding...
Overalls
I love the quality of these tshirts! They have many options and are a good value. A bit of a mid weight cotton, I actually use the long sleeve version the most! Basic but comes in cute and earthy colors that’ll go with any landscape.
Solid T-Shirt Packs – Explore Our Collection
I recently switched to these hiking boots as my summer hiking shoes and they’re so much more breathable while still being durable. The soles are very grippy which was great for Yosemite - I was going to use them for Half Dome but we didn’t end up get...
Women's Moab 3 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots
One of my favorite sports bras! For day hiking, it’s so important to have a supportive fit that isn’t too constricting and isn’t too hot. I really like the material and support of these and am always looking to get them in another color! They also wo...

A classic black suit is perfect for any swimming hole you might come across while on a hike. This one is very comfortable to wear and doesn’t slip around. I like the sleek look of a black one piece, and it doesn’t scream swimsuit if you are wearing i...
The Amalfi: Classic Black One Piece Swimsuit
These shoes may be dorky but there is nothing more comfortable than slipping these on after a 10 mile uphill hike. Socks or no socks, it’s up to you! They also still support your arches, which I’ve found to be useful compared to other slip on shoes

These have long been my go to trail running shoes. They’re extremely lightweight and ultra packable. They have a thinner sole, so you’re going to feel everything underneath them. I recommend them for paved trails and well maintained trails over anyth...
Women's Nike Free Shoes
I love these pants - I can get at least three uses out of them (including dirt and sweat days) before they need washing. They have huge pockets so I don’t have to worry about my phone or keys falling out during rock scramble areas and they’re tailore...
Trailhead Pants - Grey

This is my go to face sunscreen! It does really well with sweat and humidity and I haven’t been burned since I started using it. It lasts a long time - I have only reapplied once when using this one and that was a day in direct sun. As someone who bu...
The Silk Sunscreen - SPF 50 Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen
This backpack can really pack a lot! I can put a notebook, three liters of water, snacks, keys, sunscreen, and a bit more in it comfortably! You can easily switch sides of the sling bag so you aren’t always carrying it on the same side, and the pouch...
