Some of the most breathtaking sights I’ve seen have been on bitterly cold hikes. But venturing out in low temperatures bring a host of new challenges. The biggest one: regulating your body heat. This is no reason to miss out on some of the gorgeous views winter hiking has to offer. I hope through this guide, I’ll arm you with the information you need to safely bundle up for an enjoyable adventure.
Thanks so much - I'm saving this article so I can properly attire myself for hiking in northern New Mexico where I moved to recently! I'm just not sure polypropelene is safe to wear - has anyone looked into it?
I realized about halfway through this article that I’ve unknowingly had a side hustle as your gear photographer 😅. Perfect explanations all the way through, so helpful!
I suggest warm, waterproof, non-slip boots. Then, layers for your body. You want to be able to add or shed the layers, depending on the temperature and precipitation (Rain, mist, sleet or snow).
Necessary shifts to quickly develop a winter outdoor social culture: people need to start dressing for the weather. Insulated coats and pants. Warm boots, hats, mittens. And, some places will have 3-5 weeks of temps too cold for safe outdoor gathering. Stay home.

Truly helpful and informative!
As always, I've learned all the things I'm doing wrong. Thank you for the terrific information.
Thanks Mr. Cole for a great assembly writing for the Winter Weather!
I made a morning ritual where I would wake up, look at the mirror everyday and tell myself “You're better than this. You're stronger than this.”

The only thing I hate about summer is that every building I’m in has the ac so low that . Thanks Cole it's really helpful.

Cole Thank you, During the winter, weather changes make it hard to know if the park will be snowy, rainy, or sunny when you arrive.
Appreciate that bro, I gotta start dressing for ACTUAL winter weather.
Keep these important reminders while dressing for this winter weather season.
I will - thanks so much!!
Very informative!
