What do I need to bring for the trek? What equipment, etc?

I've attached a packing list that we provide to our travelers for a better idea of the equipment you would need to bring for this trip. Since we stay in a beautiful historic home every night after each day of hiking, traditional backpacking gear such as tents, sleeping bags, etc. are not needed.
