Things to Bring
Click Here For A General "Things To Bring" List   Click Here For A "Things To Bring" List for Mtn. Bikers

The single most important rule in adventure travel - and especially on Adventurebus is this ... Don’t bring anything that you are not ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN you will need! WHY?  Because it will lessen your enjoyment of the experience!  More "frustration" is created by having to deal with "things" than any other factor.  That and with all the livestock we carry, it can get cramped... Just kidding.
Gear:
Shoes: Hiking boots or sturdy sneakers, sandals (Teva type) to wear into the water (no flip-flops)
Flashlight/Torch (headlamps are the most handy)
Day Pack: small backpack to hike with
Warm sleeping bag 15-30 deg. (nights at 8000 ft get chilly... we rent super-warm bags for $30)
sun screen, insect repellant, sun glasses, hat, winter hat (for chilly campfire nights)
Water bottle or Hydration Pack (Camelbaks and other hydration backpacks are one of the best  inventions ever, or so we like to think! Most bladders can be put in any backpack as well!
Extra Money - $20 per day recommended
Towel
Camera and film (you’ll use more film than you think.... on average 1 roll per day! :) )
Toiletries
Pillow case

Clothing
