A drink with a combination of water and electrolytes is the best choice for proper hydration during hiking in the desert. Electrolytes help to replace the minerals lost through sweating and maintaining the body's fluid balance. Caffeinated beverages and frozen bottled water may dehydrate the body, while room temperature water may not be as effective in replacing electrolytes lost through sweating.
