Travel Gear and Resources
Whether you're coming on a tour with Alpinehikers or traveling on your own, there are many things you need to do to get ready. You'll receive a suggested packing list as part of your tour materials, but you can also view our pretrip packet here. To help put things together, here is a list of online stores and resources that I like for gear, transportation, and other hiking and travel essentials.

When you purchase through many of the links on this page, you'll be generating commissions. We're giving 100% of these commissions to the World Neighborhood Fund, so feel free use this page as often as you like for searches or shopping and know that you're giving back a little in the process!
