Everything You Need To Know About Hiking The Wave In Arizona

Page 4 of 14

This is a hot, dusty desert environment with no drinking water. You should be prepared with 3 liters of water at a minimum. I always recommend a daypack with a hydration reservoir for easy drinking. You’ll also want sun protection and good hiking shoes.

The trail is not well-marked and there is no cell phone service. You should be prepared with a good map (you can also get one at the ranger’s station), and if you’re inexperienced with backcountry navigation, you may also want to bring a GPS and communication device. I recommend the Garmin InReach.

Below are a few of my favorite pieces of day hiking gear and recommendations:

  • Day hiking backpack (men’s)
  • Trekking poles
  • Hiking boots (men’s)
  • Socks
  • Quick-drying tee (men’s)
  • Quick-drying shorts
  • Hat
  • Lightweight rain jacket
  • First aid kit
  • Garmin inReach
  • Headlamp
  • Sunglasses
  • Snacks/lunch
  • Water
