Pack for Fun!
Missouri has a lot of incredible things to do. From Top Golf and axe throwing, to backwoods camping and serene hiking, there’s something for everyone! When planning your trip, think about the activities you plan on enjoying and make sure to bring clothing and accessories that you’ll need.
For example, if you’re visiting a lake or river and plan on renting kayaks, make sure to bring water tight bags, sunglasses and a hat you don’t mind losing, a waterproof case and lanyard for your phone, sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle. Some activities may require specific shoes, like closed-toed for axe throwing or comfortable hiking shoes for exploring the state parks. If the weather is remotely warm, be sure to pack a swimming suit! There are lots of rivers, lakes, and great places to take a refreshing dip in the water. Take a look at your plans and make sure you’re packing things that will keep you comfortable and happy for the whole trip!
Weather Preparation
One of the things Missouri is known for is having quite extreme temperatures on opposite ends of the spectrum back-to-back. You can quite literally need a sweatshirt, thick socks, and a raincoat one day and a tank top, shorts, and flip flops the next. This is particularly true during the spring and fall seasons when the temperatures are shifting from cold to hot or vice-versa. But, with just a little bit of planning, you won’t have to get caught in the weather!
Before you leave for your Missouri vacation, be sure to check the weather in the specific area where you’ll be traveling. If you’re going to be in Missouri in spring or fall, it’s a good idea to bring layers you can take off or put on if the temperature shifts day-to-day during your trip. If you’re visiting in the summer, make sure to bring light and breathable clothing that will keep you as cool as possible in the notorious Missouri humidity. In the winter, temperatures often reach well below freezing with windchills below zero. Make sure to have a coat that is rated for low temperatures and something to cover your head and/or ears to protect from wind gusts.
