  • Bring a daypack or hiking pack for the trails. If you are camping, bring backcountry gear.

    Wear hiking boots or comfortable shoes that grip well. You might want to bring a poncho, but really, any rain in the canyon will feel pretty good.
    For clothing, shorts and t-shirts are fine, but you might want something light-weight and long-sleeved to protect against the hot sun.

    Bandaids, snakebite kit (maybe)

    camera with 100, 200, 400 film...the usual.

    Sunscreen, SPF >30. Possibly insect repellant.

    BRING WATER BOTTLES or a Camelback-type hydration system and LOTS of water!!!!!!

  • A backpack large enough to carry two or three litres of water plus your other gear.

    Good hiking boots are essential or you risk a strained ankle at best. You will need warm clothes early on, but shorts and t-shirt by midday. I'd advise you to take a hat as well.

    Lots of sunblock.

    Keep it light. If you take along a load of photo equipment and a tripod, you will regret it after about 10 minutes. It's at least three hours up and three hours back, and you have a long, long way to climb.

    Just in case, I'd take a torch and a whistle. Better safe than sorry.

    If you take nothing else, you MUST take at least 2 litres (that's about 4 pints) of water and some high calorie food. I recommend the largest packet of peanut M&Ms you can buy.

    Backpaks are ideal, especially if you plan to overnight in the Canyon itself.

    Make sure you have strong touring boots, plenty of water, a hat and sunscreen, too.

    You can buy basic pills in a 7-Eleven in Grand Canyon Village but if you need special medicine, you will want to bring it along.

    Any camera will do, films, batteries are available in local tourist shops.

    Depending upon what time of year it is and how quickly it gets dark, you may need a flashlight. I was hiking last August and found myself trying to hike up the Soutrh Kaibab trail when I ran into another family with kids. I had the presence of mind to pack a flashlight. I asked the other family how they would be able to see going back up the trail - especailly with kids. They were thankful I had a flashlight. I was happy about it too.

    Good hikingshoes are highly recommended on a descent to Phantom Ranch.

    Enough films as you can keep on shooting beautiful pictures.

    A waterbottle to prevent dehydration as it is warm and dry in the deep.

  • small backpack and a bag to keep think cool

    hiking shoes

    depend what you want to do. it was not easy to take picture out of a helicopter or take pictures from fast flying condor. the sun can also be a problem.

    important enough to drink, something to eat a sunhat good shoes and maybe something against the insects
