What to Bring on a Day Hike

Various hiking guides have lists of basic equipment needed for every hike, such as the "10 Essentials," etc. The CMC's members have found through experience that the following items are essential for every trip for every participant; please carry them in your standard day pack and don't go on a trip without them. Don't "share" your essentials with other people, and don't rely on the leader to have extra water, food, first aid supplies or gear for your use. Be sure to have proper clothing and footwear for the time of year you’ll be hiking.  If you have further questions please contact the trip leader or the CMC office at (303) 279-3080 x 2.
