I’ve had a few people ask me what to pack on a trip to Havasupai, so I put together my suggested packing list. Hope this is helpful!
- Overnight backpack: the 10 mile hike to and from the campsite isn’t easy, so don’t overpack and make sure your heavier items are closer to the bottom of your backpack.
- Daypack: a backpack you can carry around during the day. If you have an overnight backpack with a removable top, even better!
- Water bladder: there is a spring at the campsite where you can fill up.
- Water bottle
- Water filter: if you’re going on long day hikes and don’t feel like carrying all of your water for the day.
- Sunscreen
- Bug spray
- Sun hat
- Hiking shoes
- Water shoes
- Flip flops
- Sunglasses
- Hiking poles: the hike in/out is hilly and rocky, so poles can be helpful.
- Bathing suit
- Shorts
- Long durable quick-dry pants: especially if you want to do a long hike with river crossings.
- Short sleeved shirt
- Long sleeved shirt: to shield from the sun
- Socks (bring a few pairs)
- Tent or hammock
- Sleeping bag
- Headlamp or flashlight
- Food: snacks, and meals if you want. The village that sells food is two miles from the campground.
- Cooking system
- Camera
- Solar charger: if you want to keep your electronics charged
Enjoy your trip! If you want to see some pictures from Havasupai check out my Instagram.
