Meet other people in your town interested in backpacking. Talk about locations, equipment, recipes, etc., and find people to take trips with. We will try and get out as much as possible. Like hiking some miles? This is your club. Camping, snowshoeing, climbing. We will introduce you to the essentials of hiking/backpacking with a community involvement. Our primary purpose is to have fun!!

What members are saying

 To learn more about and participate in back packing, some of the members already have good experiences that will help the novices in the group. 

 Great group of people who want to experience the backcountry, and learn about backpacking.
