The List:
- white or light colored shirts and jackets [much cooler in the sun]
- sunglasses & backups [high altitude, closer to UV rays] just sayin’
- hats/headgear that firmly attaches, and clearly covers
- jacket-light windbreaker [occasional high winds; breezes and coolness in evening–temp drops at night]
- closed toe shoes for hiking, and tromping around the river
- casual shoes for around water, cabin, travel
- swim stuff–we swim in it all the time. It’s essential to cool off on hot days.
- sunscreen
- lg towel [beach, cabin, shower] Dries out in an hour in the dry, arid air.
- lip balm/sunblock [trust me]
- sunscreen
- cash for personal use [marinas; convenience store 1 mi outside park; day trips on land]
