14 Things to Pack for Rocky Mountain National Park
Wondering what to pack for your upcoming trip to Rocky Mountain National Park? You’ve come to the right place. I was born and raised in Colorado and I know first-hand how tricky planning for a trip to the mountains can be. It’s not uncommon to experience below-freezing temperatures, hot and sunny afternoons, torrential rain and hail all in the same day. After many, many adventures, I’ve dialed in my gear list to 13 items I’ll never go on an overnight to the park without.
As part of the Outside family, we’re lucky to have a rockstar inhouse gear team that spends their time testing thousands of products each year so readers (and myself!) don’t have to. They are my trusted resource for all my own gear purchases, so I’ve included their best picks in each category (and links to their in-depth guides) to help you find your new favorite adventure items. This is what you should pack on your next trip to Colorado.
