Summer Hiking Essentials

Ready to explore the great outdoors this summer? Don’t let uncomfortable gear or unexpected hazards hold you back. 

Investing in proper hiking gear is especially important if you’re planning to hike during the summer months. The heat and humidity can make it more challenging to stay comfortable and safe on the trail. It’s also a good idea to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and a first aid kit with you on your hike. Knowing the trail and being prepared for any potential hazards can also help you stay safe and avoid accidents. With the right gear, clothes, and preparation, you can fully enjoy your summer hikes and make unforgettable memories in the great outdoors.

If you’re someone who enjoys hiking, investing in proper gear is essential to ensure a comfortable and safe experience. 

So, I’m sharing some summer hiking essentials that’ll make you enjoy the outdoors with comfort and style. Some people DO wear leggings in the summer because they feel like it prevents them from getting insect bites. As well as staying protected from poison Ivy. But, if it is really hot, I suggest wearing those shorts when you’re hiking. And, always be mindful of the surroundings.

Summer Hiking Essentials

It was at least 92 degrees during our hike at the Cunningham Falls State Park. My sweat was dripping even with me wearing my crop top and shorts so I added the portable fan here for your convenience. Also always bring enough water, a snack (a good protein bar helps), and sunscreen so you won’t burn under the sun.

During the summer months, it’s important to choose lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking clothing made of quick-drying materials like nylon or polyester. Light-colored clothing is ideal for reflecting sunlight and keeping you cool. Long-sleeved shirts and pants made of breathable materials like mesh can provide extra protection from the sun and bugs. A hat and sunglasses are also important to protect your face and eyes from the sun’s rays.

Choosing comfortable and supportive footwear with good traction is crucial to prevent slips and falls on uneven terrain. Hiking shoes or boots are a great option, especially for longer hikes. It’s also important to bring a lightweight rain jacket in case of unexpected rain showers and insect repellent to keep bugs at bay. A small hiking first aid kit with essentials like band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and pain relievers is also recommended.

When hiking in the summer, it’s important to be mindful of your surroundings. Check the weather forecast before heading out and plan your hike accordingly. Avoid hiking during the hottest part of the day and take breaks in the shade or near water sources. By being prepared and taking the necessary precautions, you can enjoy a safe and comfortable summer hike. 

Check out these essential items to ensure a stylish, comfortable, and safe adventure on the trails.

Summer Hiking Gear

When it comes to day hiking, having the right gear can make all the difference in ensuring a comfortable and safe experience on the trails. Some essential day hiking gear to consider includes a water bottle and water filter for staying hydrated, a GPS device or Garmin InReach for navigation, trekking poles for added stability and support, and a repair kit stocked with duct tape and a fire starter in case of emergencies. 

Additionally, packing lip balm and toilet paper can help keep you comfortable on the trail. By investing in these day hiking essentials, you can fully enjoy your outdoor adventures and feel confident and prepared for any unexpected challenges that may arise.

Waterproof Hiking Backpack

A waterproof hiking backpack is an essential piece of gear for any hiker, especially if you’ll be hiking in wet or rainy conditions. Look for a backpack made of durable, waterproof materials like nylon or polyester with a roll-top closure to keep water out. Make sure the backpack fits comfortably and has enough space to store all of your gear.

It’s also a good idea to bring extra layers of clothing in case of unexpected weather changes, such as a lightweight rain jacket or a warm long-sleeve fleece. Before hitting the trails, be sure to pack all your day hiking essentials and double-check that you have everything you need for a safe and enjoyable hike.

Sports Sandals

Sports sandals are a great option for summer hiking, especially if you’ll be crossing streams or walking through water. Look for sandals with good traction and support, and make sure they fit securely to prevent blisters. Some sports sandals also have adjustable straps that allow you to customize the fit for maximum comfort.

In addition to sports sandals, it’s also important to wear comfortable and moisture-wicking socks to prevent blisters and keep your feet dry. Consider packing an extra pair of socks in case your feet get wet. By investing in good-quality sports sandals and socks, you can fully enjoy your summer hikes and feel confident and comfortable on any terrain.

Waterproof Insulated Hiking Boots

Waterproof insulated hiking boots are a must-have for hiking in wet or cold conditions. Look for boots with a waterproof membrane like Gore-Tex or eVent to keep your feet dry, and insulation like Thinsulate or PrimaLoft to keep your feet warm. Make sure the boots fit well and have good traction to prevent slips and falls on slippery terrain.

It’s also important to break in your hiking boots before hitting the trails to prevent blisters and ensure maximum comfort. Wear them around the house or on short walks to get them adjusted to your feet. By investing in a good pair of waterproof insulated hiking boots, you can tackle any terrain with confidence and comfort, no matter the weather.

Sunscreen Spray For Face

Protecting your face from the sun is important during summer hikes, especially at higher elevations where the sun’s rays are stronger. Look for a sunscreen spray that is water-resistant and has an SPF of at least 30. Apply sunscreen liberally to your face, neck, and any other exposed skin before hitting the trail, and reapply every few hours to ensure maximum sun protection. Consider wearing a hat and sunglasses to further protect your face from the sun.

Don’t forget to check the expiration date on your sunscreen before heading out on your hike. Expired sunscreen loses its effectiveness and may not provide adequate protection from the sun’s harmful rays. By taking these extra precautions, you can enjoy your summer hike while keeping your skin safe and healthy.

What To Wear When Hiking In Summer?

When hiking in the summer, wear lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking clothing made of quick-drying materials like nylon or polyester. Opt for light colors and consider wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants made of breathable materials for extra protection from the sun and bugs. Wear a hat, sunglasses, and bring a hydration system to stay cool and hydrated on the trail. Choose comfortable and supportive footwear with good traction to prevent slips and falls.

Bring a lightweight rain jacket, insect repellent, and a small first aid kit. If hiking in an area with ticks, wear long pants tucked into socks and use tick repellent. Check the weather forecast and plan your hike accordingly, avoiding the hottest part of the day and taking breaks in the shade or near water sources. By being prepared and taking the necessary precautions, you can enjoy a safe and comfortable summer hike.

This state park that we visited has so many hiking trails, and a lake where you can swim, boat, pedal and paddle board, fishing, picnic, and more. So always check the area where you will be going as you might also need to bring a swimsuit in case it became so hot that you just wanna take a dip after your hike. This park charges $5 for Maryland residents and $7 for non-residents per person. If you are in the area, check out this post to find other hiking spots where we have conquered this hiking journey that we started last year.

Think of alternative Easter basket containers. Getting a traditional basket can be expensive at this time of the year as it is in demand.  There are alternative containers that can be used, such as decorated paper bags or repurposed baskets from around the house. You can repurpose items like cardboard boxes or mason jars. This will save you money and  being more eco-friendly, you saving the environment as well.

You can add books, coloring books, or outdoor toys too. Think about the educational and practical value of these gifts. These non-traditional gifts to spark ideas for your kids.

Personalize with Handmade Touches
Personalized Easter baskets with names or monograms can be an added cost for this year. How about DIY ways to personalize baskets, such as using stencils or iron-on letters. I do have a cricut machine that I use to personalized but there are budget friendly stencils you can use as well. Creating this will add a sentimental value of handmade touches. Other creative ideas for personalization are using photos or handprints of your kids.

Sulwhasoo: A Comprehensive Review

Sulwhasoo as a renowned Korean skincare brand, setting the stage for your experience with their products. Sharing all my thoughts about this products that I am currently been using.

1. Cleansing Oil:

When using this cleansing oil, it doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy. It’s gentle on both my skin and pores while effectively removing makeup and sunscreen.

2. Cleansing Foam:

The cleansing foam leaves my skin feeling refreshed and clean without making it feel stripped. I’ve recently come to appreciate the significance of a high-quality cleanser, and this product justifies its price due to its excellent performance.

3. First Care Activating Serum:

The activating serum significantly boosted my skincare regimen, being non-sticky, drying swiftly, and not affecting the application of makeup.

4. Concentrated Ginseng Serum:

This serum is suitable for both morning and nighttime application, lightweight in texture, and effectively hydrates my skin. Additionally, it enhances firmness and diminishes wrinkles on my face.

5. Concentrated Ginseng Cream:

The cream has a milky white appearance, feels lightweight, and offers a silky-smooth texture. Although I’m not particularly fond of the ginseng scent, it does an excellent job of hydrating my skin, leaving it smoother and firmer.

6. Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Eye Cream:

The renewing eye cream includes a spatula; however, there isn’t a designated compartment inside for storing it. With a subtle ginseng scent, only a small amount is needed, especially around the eyes, where using the spatula to massage it has noticeably reduced my crow’s feet.

In conclusion, Sulwhasoo, a renowned Korean skincare brand, sets the stage for a remarkable skincare experience with their range of products. Each item reviewed demonstrates exceptional qualities: from the gentle yet effective cleansing oil and refreshing cleansing foam to the performance-justifying activating serum.
