The Ranch Packing List
Clothing that wicks moisture from the skin is recommended. Cotton clothing for exercise and hiking should be avoided unless you bring several to change into on the same day.
We recommend at least 4 sets of weather-appropriate hiking, fitness, and yoga clothes that can be interchangeable, a light to medium fleece-type pullover jacket, and a water-resistant hiking jacket.
Hydration backpack system with a hip belt, such as a CamelBak or Osprey, that will comfortably hold at least 3 liters / 100 oz of water, plus room for other personal items such as toiletries, sunblock, and a windbreaker.
2 pairs of broken-in hiking or trail running type shoes or boots with at least 1 month of use. Boots are suggested for anyone who needs ankle support. It is best if the shoe is nylon and not leather for breathability.
3 pairs of not-too-thick hiking or running socks. We do not recommend cotton socks, as they cause blisters. Please ask a professional hiking store what they recommend for 6-10 miles of daily mountain hiking with a light pack, especially if you are not accustomed to hiking.
A sun hat.
Sunglasses -- two pairs just in case.
Sunblock. We recommend at least SPF 30.
A bathing suit to enjoy our amenities.
We recommend casual clothing that allows you to be comfortable in the evenings, including flip flops or sandals after hikes and beach lunches. Uggs, a warm hat, gloves, and a scarf are nice in the cooler months.
