Rucking Mondays: Red Rock Canyon Open Space

Route: Coming Soon

You can participate in Rucking Mondays without having completed a qualifying hike.

Let's train for backpacking! You MUST carry a backpacking backpack or ruck pack to attend these training sessions. These are intended to be training sessions and not leisurely walks.

PLEASE NOTE: Headlamps are required. Depending on the weather, spikes may be recommended.

New to backpacking? If you have never backpacked and are working your way up to backpacking, I recommend starting with 10 pounds and working your way up each week by adding 5 pounds until you reach your goal weight - this can be anywhere from 25 pounds to 50 depending on your goals.

Longtime backpacker? Start where you are comfortable based on what you've done most recently. Then add weight as we go throughout the year.
