- When it comes to Colorado hiking essentials, I’ve got you covered! Seriously.
I've been hiking in Colorado for almost 2 decades. Not to mention, I am an ex-professional writer for the outdoors and I've been published WIDELY on this topic in big-name magazines. I've got this system DIALED and I want to share ALL of it with you!
You need quite a few items (thanks to variable weather), but with a little bit of smart packing, you can squeeze it all into a small, compact pack.
The trick is to pack the things that take up a lot of room (ie that puffy) into a hat or hood for compact storage.
When hiking in Colorado, you’ll want to pack the things you’ll need - such as layers and snacks - towards the top of the pack for easy access. Utilize outer pockets and hip belt pockets for snacks, sunscreen, and lip balm.

“15 Year Colorado local” 😂 …I always say “I’m from California and I moved here to ruin everything.”
Lol. I mean at least you're owning it? Although the possessiveness of this state is rather unbelievable to me. 🤷
