You cannot safely or intelligently proceed with your lack of experience. You must gain more experience, as indicated by the details that you provide. Furthermore, you must decide what trails you are going to follow and where you are going to legally disperse camp along the way. If you are going to backpack, then you probably need to follow the Continental Divide Trail or the Pacific Trail.
Backpacker Magazine provides a gear list. I provide a day pack list of essentials in my Mount Elbert article:
In my pockets, I always carry a pocket knife and fire starter, tissues or lint packets, along with several bandages in my wallet. Although reception does not exist in many gulches, I carry a cell phone that usually functions above tree-line.
In my daypack, I have compression sacks that hold my down jacket, heat packs, windbreaker, and down mittens or lighter gloves. I carry a second fire starter and two headlamps with extra batteries. I pack trail snacks, such as cheese, nuts, and rice chips. Attached by carabiner, I have at least two water bottles, sunglasses, reading glasses, and global positioning system. On most hikes, I also carry a water filter.
