Whatever you decide to do, make sure to bring plenty of water. Hydration is important for anyone looking to exercise outdoors. Arizona experiences high temperatures for part of the year, so make sure to bring a few water bottles or a hydration pack.
Snacks are great for when you get hungry on the trail. Make sure you bring snacks that contain protein or nutrition so your body will take longer to digest. Some suggestions you might enjoy are trail mix, beef jerky or dried fruits.
A first aid kit is also a good idea for a hiking trip to stay safe. If you or a friend gets hurt, you want to make sure you're prepared. You can get pre-made first aid kits at most big-box retail stores.
