I'm planning a beginner-friendly weekend trip to Hogan Lake in Russian Wilderness. It's an easy 4-mile hike each way, with two nights of camping (Friday and Saturday night) and a strenuous (but optional) hike to Blue Lake on Saturday. If you have limited backpacking experience but want to get started, this trip is intended for you. (Experienced packers are welcome also and can do extra laps around the lake if they get bored.)

You should bring basic backpacking equipment, including:

* backpack
* tent (can be shared)
* sleeping pad
* sleeping bag
* water filter (can be shared)
* campstove (can be shared)
* comfortable hiking shoes
* layered clothing including a rain shell
* food and utensils
* sunscreen
* Dog (entirely optional. I'm bringing mine and can share.)

If you have questions about gear or food or anything else, don't hesitate to contact me at eric@ayars.org. Much of this can be rented at Mountain Sports or similar stores if you don't have it. I have some extra gear as well, so if you worry you can't go because you don't have some bit of gear you need, contact me.
