I'm a Fashion Editor—Here's Everything I Packed for a Cute Trip to Joshua Tree
Before I dive into the intimate contents of my suitcase, let me first assure you I am not necessarily "one with nature." I enjoy being outdoors and appreciate new experiences, but activities like hiking, rock climbing, and the like do not come naturally to me. With that being said, my recent trip to Joshua Tree with Canada Goose helped me become 10 times more comfortable in the outdoors, and that was largely due to the products I packed and experiencing the overall brand ethos for myself. I know you might be thinking that Canada Goose is a winter-outerwear brand, and you're not wrong. What you might not know, however, is that it recently launched a spring collection featuring products that are designed to be worn in all kinds of environments, not just the snow, and I got to test some of them out.
Canada Goose's brand ethos—Live in the Open—is a mindset that encourages people to express themselves freely and without judgment while exploring the world around them. As someone who was not very comfortable in nature, this was great news to me. With the Canada Goose team by my side and noteworthy new products on my person, I was able to have a successfully active (and stylish) weekend in Joshua Tree. There were so many new products I tried while on my trip that were naturally perfect for a weekend outdoors but have since transitioned seamlessly into my regular wardrobe. Curious about which pieces made the most impact on me during my trip and have made the cut in my day-to-day life? Scroll down to see every standout item I wore during my trip with Canada Goose and shop more pieces from the brand's new spring collection that I love.

It was perfect for throwing on over a sports bra or tank top while hiking during the day and served as the most convenient light layer at night when temperatures dropped. Additionally, I have always been a baseball-hat girl, so this cute two-tone one from Canada Goose really won my heart.

I opted for a pale-gray waistpack, which can be worn crossbody or over one shoulder. It was so easy to carry and surprisingly fit so much inside. It allowed me to be hands-free while we explored Joshua Tree.

One of my favorite features of this jacket is the fact that it is so easy to pack. It basically folds down into nothing, making it the most idyllic jacket for your travels.
