Layers, layers, layers! The best way to prepare for a hike in the winter is to make sure you’re wearing multiple layers of clothing.
Start with a long-sleeved base, then add one or two more layers, such as a sweater and an insulated vest. Depending on the weather, you’ll likely need a winter jacket, parka, warm socks, hat, scarf, mittens, and warm winter footwear. Don’t forget to bring a backpack to hold extra socks, your camera, water and snacks. You can visit one of Edmonton’s many shopping centers to get all your gear!
