Backpacking and hiking are some of the most satisfying park and fly hotels pearson airport toronto weekend activities here in the Southwest’s cool fall, winter, and spring temperatures. Whether you’re heading park and fly hotels pearson airport toronto out on a Phantom Ranch hiking trip with Arizona Outback Adventures, or planning a 3 day backpacking trip in the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix, one thing is certain; to witness the desert’s shifting palette park and fly hotels pearson airport toronto of orange, red, and gold you have to throw on a backpack and get hiking.
But before you go, finding a comfortable and appropriate pack is a must. When shopping for the perfect backpack, it’s helpful to know what you are looking for in advance. Gear shops such as REI are extremely helpful in discussing which pack will best suit your needs. Most packs  fall into two basic categories:
Daypacks These lightweight packs are ideal for carrying a few essentials (i.e. food and water) as you would with short-day hikes, runs, cycling or climbs. Daypacks range as from as small as a hip-pack with a mere 8L capacity, to the super simplistic mid-sized pack like REI’s popular Flash , to the 40L internal frame Speed Pack from Black Diamond.
Multi-day Backpacks Designed for overnight park and fly hotels pearson airport toronto backpacking trips, these packs have larger park and fly hotels pearson airport toronto carrying capacity and a stabilizing frame (internal or external) to help distribute the weight of your gear across your back properly. Most packs being made today have internal frames although you may still come across an external frame pack when shopping. Backpacking packs often have many small compartments accessible from the exterior for packing individual small items.
On AOA’s Havasupai tours and Grand Canyon hiking trips you have the luxury of carrying only a simple daypack while hiking into the Grand Canyon, whereas many who hike in the Grand Canyon make the trip with a heavily loaded multi-day pack.
Sure you can cart around just about any size pack bag and “make do” at first…but travel a few miles with a fully loaded pack that’s the incorrect size and you’ll understand why a correctly fitting backpack makes all the difference. Some multi-day backpacks can even be custom fit to your unique anatomy using heat molding.
Brain? Roll-top? Built-in rain cover? This is a highly personalized area. Each pack bag’s features will be listed in the pack s description. Certain features will come in handy depending on what style hiker you are and others won’t, so be sure to select a pack with the best components for your activity.
