Of course, you can turn up at the foot of Nugget Falls Trail with nothing but your favorite song ringing loud in your ears and a pocket full of dreams. But let’s face it - you are going to be in for a bit of shock if you do so.

Without a good basic level of fitness and the right trekking equipment, trekking will be hard work. An avid adventure enthusiast knows it’s hard work anyway. You pay the toll for a great trek in sweat. Blisters, aching quads, and sore calves are badges of honor and lost or broken toenails marks of pride.

And in return, you get to witness the most pristine, natural, and jaw-dropping scenery on the planet. But you know what? The better you plan for your trek, the easier it’ll be for you to check off the next thing on your bucket list.

So before you pull on your hiking boots, grab a water bottle, and head for your next adventure, you want to make sure your backpack has everything that you need on your trek - a cotton T-shirt, sturdy and comfortable pants, a warm jacket, a rain jacket, hiking boots, and SUNGLASSES. Yes, the right, auto-darkening sunglasses.

If you have ever hiked through rough terrain and treacherous climates without a reliable pair of sunglasses, you’d probably know the discomfort it must have cost you. While sunglasses may be a hiking gear afterthought, investing in the right pair of sunglasses will make all the difference between potential snow blindness and a comfortable trekking experience.
