There are some rain barrels up at the hut, but the water isn\u2019t filtered or guaranteed so I typically just use that water for washing dishes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooler<\/strong> \u2013I bring up a dependable cooler to keep all my perishable food and beverages nice and cold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Water Bottle<\/strong> \u2013 The hut is at a high elevation of 11,600 feet so keeping hydrated is very important. I bring at least one or two 1-liter water bottle that I can take with me everywhere to drink water and fluids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food<\/strong> \u2013 There is a stovetop and oven at the hut so I like to make some tasty meals at the hut cooking a hot breakfast and dinner like breakfast burritos and pasta with garlic bread. For lunches, I typically bring up the fixings for sandwiches. Don\u2019t forget the snacks for your outdoor activities!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clothes<\/strong> \u2013 Layers and raingear! The nights can get quite cold up in the mountains and the days quite hot so it is all about having different layers to put on. A warm jacket for the evenings and a T-Shirt for the day when the sun is out. During the summer, you get afternoon thunderstorms quite regularly so bring some rain gear if you are going to be out then.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sun Protection<\/strong> \u2013 At such a high altitude, the sun can be intense! Wear that sunscreen! I also always bring a hat, love wearing a sun hoody that has SPF, and sport my favorite pair of sunglasses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sleeping Gear<\/strong> \u2013 The hut has mattresses and pillows but you need to bring your own sleeping gear. I usually bring up a sleeping bag, or if you want to be extra comfortable, you can bring sheets and blankets<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shoes<\/strong> \u2013 I love having a pair of hut slippers that you can wear in the hut. Sometimes your shoes or hiking boots are muddy or wet and wearing some cozy slippers indoors is fabulous while you dry your shoes out in front of the fire<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toiletries<\/strong> \u2013 toothbrush, toothpaste and your other essentials<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7c8667b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7c8667b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2de9393\" data-id=\"2de9393\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15d494d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"15d494d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Extras on the Packing List<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f739711 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f739711\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Bluetooth Speaker<\/b> \u2013 Gotta listen to the tunes while up at the hut!<\/p>\n<p><b>Headlamp <\/b>\u2013 A moonlight stroll at night to see the stars is always a highlight for me, bring a headlamp for emergencies and for being outside at night.<\/p>\n<p><b>Gear for outdoor activities<\/b> \u2013 Depending on what you are wanting to do at the hut, bring gear for it, whether it is hiking, trail running, off-roading, mountain biking or just exploring.<\/p>\n<p><b>Earplugs <\/b>\u2013 it is always smart if you have a snorer in the group!<\/p>\n<p><b>Phone Charger<\/b> \u2013 There are plugs up at the hut to charge your phone and other electronics<\/p>\n<p><b style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;\">Gloves <\/b><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 1rem;\">\u2013 I always forget in the summer but your hands can get cold in the fast-changing weather in the mountains.
