This gear list is for three season day hiking and a great general women’s hiking gear list. I am typically peak bagging in New Hampshire’s White Mountains where temperatures can range from 30-100 degrees. The weather can be unpredictable and may include rain, hail, or even snow in the shoulder seasons. Summers can be extremely humid, especially below treeline. Being the Granite State, the trails are almost always rocky and have their fair share of mud and other obstacles. This gear list has extended to other hiking regions and has been used for winter day hiking in areas that receive trace amounts of snow.
