Extras to Bring on a Hike

Besides water, food, and other necessary supplies to have a successful hiking trip there are some other fun items you can bring with you to make your hike more enjoyable and memorable!

A journal

A journal is a great way to remember your hikes and what you saw, encountered, and did that day. When you start to do a lot of hikes being able to differentiate and remember each one becomes difficult, but you always want to remember your hikes, or at least the most memorable ones! So, having a small notebook on hand can be an awesome resource to you.

A camera

You are most likely going to see animals, flowers, and beautiful landscapes on your hikes, and you want to be able to capture it so that you can remember it forever! A great way to accomplish this is to by having a camera. Our phone camera’s today are a lot better but if you really want to get great pictures I would recommend investing in a camera, or if you already own one bring it with you on your hikes!

Meditation/ yoga materials

A fantastic way to be one with nature and really be at peace is to find a place during your hike to take a moment and meditate or do yoga. This gives you a break during your hike to relax and also gives you a peaceful moment while on your hike. You can simply download an app on your phone that walks you through meditation as well if you have never done it before!
