Meet other people in your area interested in backpacking. Talk about locations, equipment, recipes, etc., and find people to take trips with. We hope to soon have a variety of trips planned for different levels of experience and interests. You should come along with us, if you enjoy being outdoors, want to have some adventure and enjoy meeting people and having new experiences. Backpacking in a group is an entirely different way of getting to know people!

Backpacking the North Fork Mountain (NFM) Trail, West Virginia. I have backpacked and hiked this awesome trail before. The plan is to backpack 8 miles per day for 3 days to complete the 23.8 mile trail. We would stash water roughly at the trail midpoint since there is no reliable water source along the trail only a spring which we can’t rely on. We need to do a vehicle shuttle so need a few cars.
