Welcome, New Mexico Backpackers!

Here's a place where you can meet other backpacking enthusiasts! Join us on backpacking trips, meet other backpackers, discuss gear, find those "favorite" trails and have fun out there with others who enjoy the activity as much as you do!

Backpackers of all ability levels are welcome, from newbies to advanced. We encourage anyone who's thought about backpacking to give it a try. Our trip descriptions will always include the level of difficulty, so you can decide whether it's the right trip for you or not. And what a great place to get advise if you're just starting out!

During the season (April thru October) we'll schedule 3 or 4 trips per month (and sometimes more) and we'll even work in a trip or two during the months of March and November. Out of necessity the majority are weekenders. From time to time we schedule longer trips (3 or 4 days or more). During the winter we'll also plan a few trips (like to a yurt!) along with some skiing, snowboarding & snowshoeing trips. Over this past season we will have scheduled 29 backpacking trips, 5 snow play trips and a couple "get to know everyone" cookouts! You can also check our message board for someone who might be planning a trip. So you've got a lot of opportunities to get out there and hit the trail!

Please read our RSVP Policy which is found in our "About" section, and while you're there why not go ahead and read the entire page. There's a lot of useful information in there that our members should know!

Have any questions? Email the organizer, Bob F!

We hope you decide to join our group!

WHAT'S NEW?

We're planning our Winter 2009/2010 trips and will start posting them near the end of November! We've got a couple yurt trips in the works, some snowshoe/backpacking trips and trips to Angel Fire, Durango, Flagstaff & Pagosa Springs where we'll be able to ski, snowboard or snowshoe and come back to a cabin/house in the evening. These were a lot of fun last winter!
