Packing a trail or ski lunch

A good sandwich is half the reason to go for a hike.

Order the night before

Planker and Beach Hut take online orders; Big O opens early for bagel sandwiches before you head to the hill.

Pack for the cold

Skip wet toppings and ask for dressing on the side; a sturdy hoagie or bagel survives a backpack better than soft bread.

Halves and smalls

Planker’s half sandwiches ($8.50–$10) and Beach Hut’s small size are right for a lunch stop on the trail.

Smokehouse snacks

Add jerky or smoked meats from Sisters Meat & Smokehouse for summit snacks.
