Backpacking Gear List for the Grand Canyon
This is my backpacking gear list for my trip to the Grand Canyon. I hiked 56 miles form Lipan Point to the South Kaibab Trailhead. Temperatures were fairly warm, and that’s reflected in some of the gear I brought. Soon, I’ll be updating this page with a more in-depth writeup on each piece and how I felt about it (especially the new additions) but for now, know that it all worked really well for this trip, and there’s nothing on this list I regret brining. If you have questions about any of the gear listed here, feel free to reach out!
