Ready-to-eat food, easy access and a little planning before you leave the trailhead.
Think about your route first
A snack for a short local loop and food for an exposed all-day hike serve different plans. Look at expected time, weather, water access and possible delays. The National Park Service includes extra food and water among the Ten Essentials; a snack list is not a complete safety plan.
Choose food you already know
Bars, trail mixes and shelf-stable meat snacks can all be eaten without cooking. Start with foods you tolerate and enjoy at home. Choose formats you can open with cold hands, and keep a snack accessible rather than burying everything at the bottom of your pack.
Compare the whole package
Check servings, ingredients and storage directions on the exact flavor. A bag may contain multiple servings; a familiar brand may make recipes with different allergens. Bring a bag for wrappers and carry out food scraps rather than leaving them for wildlife.
CLIF BAR is a ready-to-eat energy-bar range built around ingredients such as rolled oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and syrups. The range includes multiple flavor-specific recipes, so ingredients and dietary suitability can differ by flavor.
