Fall Hiking Gear Guide

Fall is one of the best times to hike, in my opinion, because the foliage is stunning, and the weather is beautiful! But fall can have unpredictable weather, making it crucial to understand what to wear hiking in fall.

I have hiked plenty of times in the fall where the trailhead temperatures were significantly warmer than the summits, and sometimes the summits have snow! Layering is important when hiking in fall to keep you warm.

Here is everything I pack for hiking in the fall:

• wool base layers to help regular body temperature

• fleece jacket to help retain body heat

• puffy jacket just in case you need more insulation

• hat, gloves, and neck gaiter

• extra layers just in case

• microspikes in case the trail is icy

• insulated hiking boots once the temperatures start to drop
