Backpacking
We love backpacking - and we bet you will too, if you don't already.
Enjoy starlight like you’ve never seen it before. The satisfaction of cooking a delicious meal 20 miles from the nearest supermarket. Waking up to the sounds of hermit thrushes echoing among the cedars.
Backpacking is more challenging than dayhiking. But its rewards are well worth the extra effort. You’ll need a little new knowledge, some gear and extra preparation and a great destination. You'll find all of that here.
