Good active winter gear set up for hiking/camping?

I live out in Utah and need some suggestions on good winter gear that will keep me warm and dry on both sides…meaning that when i sweat (which is inevitable) I won’t get too cold, and snow won’t melt on my outer layer and refreeze as ice. What do you skilled winter adventurers wear? Tell me all your layers and any gear suggestions you have please. I will be traveling through deep snow requiring snow shoes. Any good and supportive hiking winter boots? Thanks for all the help. I’m trying to get a head start on winter gear.

here is a great link to get your planning started

Hiking in Escalante Petrified Forest State Park



 Rockhounding Utah


Rockhounding Utah


$12.95


Author William A. Kappele shows you the grandeur of Utah’s exposed formations, its canyon walls etched with fossils, and the spires and arches of the Needles District in Canyonlands National Park. Each description includes concise information on the material to be found there, the tools to bring, the best season to visit, the vehicle to drive, or when a remote find suggests it’s time to lace up the hiking boots. Readers will glean new insights into the obsidian of the Black Rock sites, jasper at Hell’s Backbone, petrified wood at Bullfrog Turnoff, and fossils of sea lillies along the Wasatch Range. May your journeys be fruitful and your bag be heavy on the way home. Somewhere in that bag among your rocks, we hope you haven’t forgotten your copy of Rockhounding Utah.
