Man , I hope you guys have a great time. You don't need the fancy high dollar crap. Just bring enough to layer up depending on temps . A decent pair of boots , even work boots with about 400 grams of thinsulate . Mink oil them up. Some cheap gloves for cold mornings .
Take lots of pictures

Layers. Under Armour type stuff. No cotton, Water proof. Stayin dry is all it is cracked up to be. I bought most of mine at Farm+fleet, Lands End, Duluth trading.

No special clothing as far as camo etc.. Layer clothing of our choice to stay warm, dry and comfortable temperature for you is all you really need. I hunt them in jeans and what ever outwear I grab that day.

You can wear jeans and flannel and get the job done. It just depends on how comfortable you want to be while you're doing it. Some outdoor clothing is overpriced, some is not. S&P is correct, Rockslide is a good resource. I would do your research and then start looking around for a good deal. https://www.sierra.com is a good place to start. ol'dad

I don't hunt with sticks and stones but I'm a natural gear camo fan for hunting coyotes they make a variety to choose from that I feel is worth taking a look at.
I'm sure your aware of this already but there's a few grizzly bears in that area from time to time so be mindful and have a great time ! Take a bunch of pictures ! Allan

Be prepared for anything. Last year on my Colorado elk hunt we got 2 1/2 feet of snow which made it difficult. We weren't as prepared as we should have been and it cost us a couple days of hunting.
I had a cheap set of redhead raingear that worked well for keeping my legs dry trudging through the thigh deep snow. I had to duct tape the bottom of the pants to my boots to keep out the snow but other than that I was good.

I wear the same stuff I wear trapping. Bank on wool if it's going to be nasty weather wise. I just laugh at all the dummies in kuiu, first lite type stuff. Most of those guys are worse than women when it comes to fashion needs. Those guys nicknames are "showcase". Lol

I'm a polypropylene long john under wrangler jeans and a wool shirt and the last layer is natural gear winter camo when hunting coyotes . Deer and elk hunting in deep snow or wet conditions I get out the wool pants and coat .
I also believe in layers during the fall winter and spring .
