The American Southwest is one of the top destinations for hikers and backpackers with vast landscapes, unique geological features, and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. A desert day hike or backpacking trip can be a wonderful way to explore the trails in this region even when snow blankets most mountainous backpacking destinations.<\/p>\n

From my years of hiking and backpacking in the deserts of Utah, Arizona, and California, I\u2019ve learned that preparation is key. Hiking in the desert is a completely different experience than hiking in the mountains. Knowing how to deal with heat, sun exposure, desert wildlife, and water supply are all key factors in planning a safe (and fun) desert hike.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before you take off to the desert, you need to have to plan, and I\u2019ve got you covered with these desert hiking and backpacking tips. Whether you\u2019re a first-time or seasoned hiker, these tips will help you plan what gear to bring and how to stay cool and safe on the trail.<\/p>\n
