A suggested packing list for you. Put your name on EVERYTHING you bring since the group is so large.

The weather may vary, expect snow, it also could be warm. . You can dress in layers. T-shirts, sweatshirts, windbreakers and sweaters are great for this.

Drinking water is very important on this trip. Be sure to bring a refillable 2-liter water canteen/sports bottle with you. Fill it while traveling, and in the hotel room each morning before we leave for each day's adventures! You can buy one at an Army Surplus or Dollar Store for under $5. On Western Trip - YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE HIKES WITHOUT A 2-liter WATER BOTTLE.
