5 Things Women Should Bring Hiking In Yellowstone National Park

Planning a hiking trip to Yellowstone National Park is exciting! Yellowstone offers breathtaking sights like canyons, hot springs, and geysers. During your adventure, you’ll be surrounded by beauty and wildlife like bison and elk in their natural habitat. Be sure to capture the moments with your camera or phone. You’ll be making memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Here are 5 things that women should bring when hiking at Yellowstone to help you enjoy your trip to the fullest.

1. Water Bottle

You know you need to stay hydrated, especially in warm weather! But dehydration can sneak up on you in the high altitude, even when the weather feels cooler. Especially if you’re visiting Yellowstone from lower elevations, you’ll want to be sure to drink plenty of water. Be sure to be prepared for your hike and bring plenty of fresh drinking water with you. A sturdy water bottle that will hold enough water to get you through a few hours should do the trick. You can always keep back-up gallons of water back at your vehicle or campsite to refill your water bottle as needed.

2. Water Bottle Holders

You’ve packed your bags and filled up your water bottle. You go to look through your bag for a snack and a drink, and… your water has leaked out all over your bag!

Binoculars

 When you’re hiking in Yellowstone National Park, you’re going to see some amazing scenery. Some of the features you might witness on your trip are canyons, hot springs, and geysers. You might see animals like bison and elk. To watch these majestic creatures from a safe distance and get the best out of your experience, consider bringing a pair of binoculars. 

Sunscreen/SPF

 Yellowstone National Park is at a high altitude of 8,000 feet, so the sun can burn unprotected skin quickly. It’s always important to wear SPF, but its especially needed for sunny days at the park. 

Sunglasses

 Did we mention that Yellowstone National Park can be sunny? Make sure you’re prepared to enjoy the gorgeous weather and scenery. Remember to bring a good pair of sunglasses so you can take in all the beauty of the park and keep your eyes protected from UV rays.

We hope these tips help you prepare for a memorable trip. Now go out and enjoy all the beauty that Yellowstone national park has to offer!
