Everything you need to get into the backcountry

A full backpacking setup can cost well over $1,000 to buy. Take a Hike Rentals lets you skip the sticker shock — rent a complete kit of multi-day packs, lightweight tents, warm sleeping bags, water filters and bear canisters, pick it up in Saratoga Springs, and hit the trail. It's the perfect way to try backpacking, or gear up a whole group without everyone buying their own.

We're minutes from the Wasatch and a short drive from the Uinta trailheads, so you're never far from an alpine basin. First trip? Start with a solo or couples bundle and we'll make sure you've got the essentials.
