Packing List for the Zion Trip

We are meeting at 7am Wednesday morning at the Church and coming back Saturday before 6pm. We will be doing plenty of hiking, but you won't have to haul around all your gear, just a day pack. Here are the things you will need to bring:

Two pairs of shoes (one you can get wet while you hike around in rivers, another you can hike around that are dry)
Five pairs of socks
Flip flops
Underwear
Shorts/Jeans
Swimming Suit
Towel
T-shirts
Light jacket (in case of rain)
Hat
Sunglasses
Lots of Sunscreen (at least SPF 30)
Lip balm
Bug repellent
Ear plugs (for the snoring and for the leaders)
Canteen/Camelback/Water bottle (enough to carry a quart)
Day Pack (for lunches, snacks, sunscreen, water, etc.)
Tarp/Tent (the night time low is only supposed to be 70 and no rain is expected)
Light sleeping bag/sleeping pad
Pillow
Toothbrush, toothpaste, deoderant
Medications (aloe for sunburns, ibuprofen for sore muscles, Band Aids, mole-skin for blisters, personal needs)
Games, balls, Frisbee, etc.
Utensils, cup, plate, bowel, etc.
Food for yourself (we will feed you one meal per day, and you can count on hot water and a gas stove for breakfast and dinners, but lunches need to be eaten cold)
  • 2 breakfasts (eat before we leave on Wednesday)
  • 3 lunches
  • 2 dinners
  • Lots of snacks for hiking
Money for fast food if you want (don't count on more than one opportunity Wed. and one on Saturday)
