  • Light Jacket for wind and/or rain

  • Rain Pants (If rain is anticipated)

  • Hats: for sun or cold depending on weather

  • Footwear: wet-suit booties, sandals (with back straps, such as Keens/Chacos) or old tennis shoes (You will wade into the water up to your mid calf)

  • Sunscreen

  • Sunglasses

  • Camera

  • One liter (at least) of water

  • Guide Gratuity

Here in the Pacific Northwest weather can change quickly throughout the day, that is why we suggest dressing in a few light layers rather than one heavy one. This will allow you to adjust easily to changing weather conditions or activity level. We recommend non-cotton layers, such as synthetic or merino wool fibers because of their ability to dry quickly and to retain body heat when wet. Avoid cotton if you can.
