Expert Answer

Do not pack based on the list of activities you will do. Instead of this, go day by day. Think about what you will be doing in the morning and the evening each day. That way, you can pack an outfit for a day and put in two extra ones. But you will not overpack.

Keep things simple. Fold them in a standard way. You can divide them into categories. Using a color code can be helpful. Use drawer dividers to keep your socks and underwear to avoid mixing them.

Get matching hangers to avoid seeing plastic mixed with felt and dry cleaning hangers that is such an eyesore. Try on all your clothes and purge the things you do not wear.

What should I pack for an 11 day trip to Yellowstone?

Community Answer

First, look at the weather and activities you'll be doing. Make a list of clothes you'll need (take into consideration whether you will be doing laundry or not). Pack clothes that are comfortable and that you can be active in. Bring clothes you can layer and remove/add as needed. Wear or pack good shoes for hiking and bring extra socks. Also, pack all the toiletries and personal items you use on a daily basis.
