Today’s Trail Tip: Find Your Perfect Winter Hike Layers! ❄️

Cooler weather is here, and it’s the perfect time to explore crisp air and stunning views. Whether you’re chasing snowy peaks or frosty forests, here’s some tips on what to wear to make your hike more enjoyable:

🧥 Layer up to stay warm and dry.

The key to feeling comfy on chilly winter hikes is LAYERS! A combination of well fitting, wicking and insulated laters will help shed moisture and keep out the chill.

👕 Fiber content counts!

Never wear cotton on a winter hike. The best choice is always synthetic or wool, as they don’t retain moisture like cotton does!

🥾 Warm toes are happy toes!

Insulated boots and synthetic or wool socks will keep your feet warm and dry on the trail as you explore in the cold.

What a day we had! Saturday was spent in the Santanoni Range, checking off peaks #38-40 on my wonderful client Connie’s list! We had a few showers, but overall the day was very hot and sticky. We battled unbelievable blowdown, rough trails, and lots of miles, but had an awesome time in the mountains tackling these beasts.

Working on your 46, and reaching those last sets of tough peaks? Reach out to us to schedule a guided trip! Openings are limited for the rest of 2024.

I’m hosting a hike in the Santanonis on July 13th, and have a few spots open! We’ll be hiking at an average-ish pace (quicker on the flats and descents, avg on the ascents).

DM for pricing and questions.

This Saturday is open on the schedule for a full-day ADK or Catskills guided hike - DM to book!

Get your summer season going and check off some more peaks on on your list!

❗️Down is optional, up is mandatory ❗️

I just arrived home from a trip to Grand Canyon National Park, where I (of course 😋) did some hiking!

South Kaibab Trail to Skeleton Point is a great trek that offers a challenge, without being unreasonably long for most. It’s important to note that it gets HOT as you descend into the canyon, and this trail has no water refill points like some other trails in GCNP.

Interested in exploring more of the country and our National Parks system, but don’t know where to start with all the planning? Let me help craft a custom itinerary for your next adventure! DM to discuss.

Another great weekend spent at the 46er’s Outdoor Skills Workshop. I presented twice on topics related to food, water, and prep for camping/backpacking, along with fueling for success when out hiking and adventuring.

Interested in starting your journey towards becoming a 46er? Message us to schedule a guided hike up some of the peaks!
