Please note:

*This is a rough list for Day Hikers; seasonal changes can call for longer and more detailed equipment lists.
* Campers should bring the below equipment and already know what to pack for overnight exposure.
* Campfires are forbidden; only contained-fuel stoves may be used for cooking.
* For your own safety, purify all water - even water from springs.
* Cellular and satellite phones do not work in the canyon, north of Zion Lodge.
* Always check flood potential with Zion Backcountry desk or Zion Adventure Company.

Please make sure to reference this list while packing your suitcases at home!
