We advocate hikers carry backpacks or waist-packs with a regular compliment of comforts and safety gear.
- rugged footwear – most trails are rocky. Don’t mess around, and try not to wear anything new right out of the box.
- plenty of water – remember you drink more water hiking outdoors in our hot, dry climate than in an air conditioned building!
- snacks – trail mix, fruit/dried fruit, jerky, etc.
- sunscreen
- sunglasses
- brimmed hat
- first aid kit
- cell phone
- maps and directional devices are highly encouraged
- car window, to roll down when you get hot
Dogs are allowed on the Seven Summits group hikes, but must be on a leash. The decomposed granite soil on most of the peaks in Big Bear can cause problems for dog’s feet; several of our past hikers have used booties successfully.
