Hikes in Yellowstone can range from a small boardwalk to a multi-day backpacking adventure. At higher elevations and in bear country it is always best to be prepared as possible, as anything can happen on any hike. I have prepared a list below of everything I bring on my day hikes.


What I bring on backpacking trips is similar to my day trips, but with a few extra items. I have a checklist for my backcamping items down below.
