Find Joy on the Trails - cold-weather hiking tips!

5A2148C4-99EF-4469-8F4D-8BF143C16928.jpeg

Joy on the Trails is a blog series detailing all the incredible hiking trails within an hour of Denver. All the trails featured are accessible to anyone whether you’re new to hiking, or just wanting to get out without driving for hours into the mountains. I hope you uncover your own joy of hiking and I hope you’re inspired to try a few of my favorite trails. And if you’re so inclined, join me sometime… I’m out there a lot!

Winter hiking can be AMAZING… just be prepared (some basics on what to wear)

Well here we are… just barely into November and Colorado has already had a couple decent snow storms! It’s rumored to be a snowy winter, but that shouldn’t keep you off the hiking trails. In fact, winter hiking can be exhilarating, beautiful and far less crowded. But before you head out, here are some very important things you’ll need to be fully prepared

Layers

You don’t need to spend a fortune on high tech gear unless you want to. In fact, most Colorado natives giggle at how much effort new arrivals to the state make in buying gear. So take an inventory of what you have and chances are you’ll be just fine.

Start with a base layer of tights or leggings on the bottom, and a long sleeve fitted shirt on top. If you have something breathable and wicking you’ll be most comfortable when you warm up as you’re hiking. Next add your warm layer: add fleece or a sweatshirt that allows you to move comfortably and adds good warmth. Finish with a top layer that is water and wind proof: an outer shell layer on top and bottom keeps you dry and protects from the wind.  

A comfy hat that doesn’t itch will perhaps be your most useful and favorite item. Since your head regulates much of your body temperature, throwing on a hat when you’re cold is the simplest way to warm up. And tuck it in your pocket when you get warm before messing with taking off clothing layers.

Footwear

A really good pair of warm socks is essential to comfort in the winter on the trails. Add a waterproof boot that is light weight and offers stability without bulk.  And finally invest in a good traction device.

Traction

So many people don’t know about this little winter hiking gem! For anywhere from $25 to $100 you can buy a slip on traction device that attaches to the bottom of your hiking boot and prevents any slipping on ice and compact snow.  Seriously, don’t set out on the trails without them! I made the investment in Kahtoola micro spikes and I LOVE them! Or if you don’t want to invest, get YakTrax for about $25, but know they may only last a few hikes because the rubber will freeze and break. They have a higher end version that is all chain on the bottom.

Finally

Grab some gloves, a trekking pole, snacks, water, and a really great attitude. You may not go as far as you would in the summer, or you may find yourself captivated by the winter scenery and wildlife. Either way, enjoy the journey!

Come hiking with me!
