A Day Hiking Gear Checklist
This is, essentially, a 3-season day hiking gear list, for a day hike pack, configured for the Cascade Mountains.
Depending on weather conditions and traveling conditions & situations, this day hike equipment list will change. The day hike pack weight will be more or less, accordingly (e.g., ice axe and crampons for Spring snow scrambles will add volume and weight).
