Packing List

Glorieta is located in the southern Rocky Mountains in Northern New Mexico and can range from very hot to very cold. One day it could be 85 degrees and the next it could be snowing. You will need to pack a variety of clothes to make sure you are equipped for every type of weather condition. The majority of your clothes can be those that you find comfortable, but you will need some specific items for personal and Momentous led adventures. See the packing list below:

Outdoor Gear: (tents and food will be provided for you)

  • Hiking boots, broken in by you. They must feel good to walk in for sometimes 10 miles a day. Start breaking them in now!

Outdoor Apparel/ Clothes:
**It’s very important that you DO NOT bring cotton clothing for our backpacking trip! Cotton traps moisture and loses any insulation when wet, so if you’re wet, you’ll also be very cold. Bring wool, polyester, and/or other synthetic fabrics instead. Down jackets are warm, but only if they stay dry.
