Miscellaneous Clothing You’ll Need to Hike Grand Canyon
Any Grand Canyon backpacking trip should be thoughtfully organized and planned. Experienced backpackers will always be prepared for the expected and unexpected weather conditions. The clothing articles in your backpack should be selected based on the time of year and weather forecast. Aside from your customary seasonal hiking outfit, there can be several items that are often overlooked.
During the heat of summer a hat is critical for hiking Grand Canyon, the shade and sun relief provided may potentially save a hiker from heat exhaustion. For an extended trek in sunlight, sunglasses are a smart way to protect your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays. A bandanna can be useful for a variety of reasons, and few things feels better than 
wrapping a wet bandanna around your neck on a scorching day in Grand Canyon if you’re lucky enough to be around water. While a jacket is largely unnecessary in the summer, you might be glad you packed a poncho when a torrential monsoon storm hits.
As for winter hiking, the importance of packing a beanie cannot be overstated. Humans give off the majority of their body heat through their heads, and having a beanie on a long, cold trip can make the difference between keeping a warm core temperature and flirting with hypothermia. A final item to consider is a small, lightweight towel to battle sweat, rain, and/or snow in colder weather.
