The Ultimate Utah Packing List

T and I are headed on an adventure to a couple of national parks in Utah, and I’ve been scouring every travel blog I can find looking for a Utah packing list. There are quite a few lists out there, but they’re geared toward multi-day hikes and camping (neither of which are on our list). We are staying in a hotel and only planning to do day hikes. This trip will be kind of like when we went to Red Rock.

Except we hope to actually be able to get out of the car for more than 5 minutes at a time. (This fair-skinned girl can’t hack it in 100+ degree temperatures. I prefer the air conditioning of the rental car, thanks.)

Not being able to find a good Utah packing list is only contributing to the fact that I over pack. I’m one of those people who stuffs extra things into my bag as I’m running out the door to the airport.

It never fails.

I will tell myself I won’t do that and then there I am the morning I’m leaving, grabbing an extra t-shirt here and pair of flats there. A second pair of sneakers? Why not!

A Complete Utah Packing List

Here’s what I’m packing for the hiking portion of the trip, and when we’re back I will report back on what I should have brought or didn’t actually need.

Rain jacket
Hiking boots
Fleece
Wool socks
Cropped leggings
Full-length leggings
Workout tops from Zella and alo
My favorite sports bra
Zip-up tops in case it gets cold
Sunscreen and a hat, and my Fitbit so I can see how many steps we log each day

My wardrobe for Utah is pretty relaxed: I’m packing my new favorite jacket and a striped top for night (it is in the 90s during the day and down to the 50s at night!), a Wildfox sweatshirt (they’re seriously the most comfortable things ever), and a pair of jeans.
