Mark's camelbak is covered with patches he has collected on his travels.The blue tube coming out of the pack allows you to drink water from a bladder without stopping to take a bottle out of your pack. Genius!

Mindy has been on many of our tours. Her rolling duffle bag is a great size and easily fits in our luggage space in the bus for easy access throughout the trip.

Other Helpful Hints when packing:
Laundry: Laundry is available on most tours usually mid week.

Dining Out: We will be dining out 1-3  times a trip, however you do not need to bring anything extra. Moab and Jackson Hole are both casual towns filled with people who are hiking and biking like you!

***Toiletries: Personal preferences of course, but don’t forget medications and ample sunscreen including lip balm. The bus is equipped with basic first aid needs. We recommend trial sizes, they’ll last about a week, and then you’ll have more room in your bag for souvenirs! Remember to pack liquids in your checked luggage, or make them less than 2oz.

***Sleeping Gear: A warm sleeping bag is crucial on all of our tours, as temperatures drop off considerably in high altitude and desert environments. It should have at least a 20 degree rating. We rent appropriate sleeping bags ($30) if you do not want to purchase one, or make space for it in your luggage. And yes, we do wash them between uses!
