What we’re about
On the surface we appear to be a hiking/backpacking group. We aren’t. We are a friend group that often hikes and backpacks as a way to spend time with each other.

Packwood WA Snow Adventure Cabin Weekend
Location not specified yetRight after New Years we are having a snow weekend cabin adventure in Packwood WA. This place is a little smaller - 8 people max.
We don't all have to do the same thing - some people might go skiing, others snowshoeing. Expect to pay $60 for your share of the cabin, and we will community cook breakfests and dinners.
We organize our trips via FB Messenger. You don't need to have a FB account but you need the Messenger App to stay on top of the logistic. Please add yourself to the waitlist and one of us will reach out.

January 10-11 Ray Benson Sno Park snow snowshoe/ski campout
Location not specified yetThe Ray Benson sno park is by the Hoodoo ski area on Highway 20. There is a large parking lot and snow shoe / cross county ski trails to and between three warming huts. We will get there Saturday morning and snow shoe or cross county from warming hut to warming hut.
Each warming hut has a fireplace, so at each stop we'll enjoy the ambiance a bit, and then move on. At the last warming hut we will enjoy an evening meal, and then snow camp outside.
If I recall, the Saturday trip will be 6-8 miles over the day, and then the return on Sunday will be 2-3 miles.
I've done this trip before and it is a wonderful day in the snow. The warming huts are not huge so 9 people is probably the max. It is ok if you have not snow camped before if you tell us up front and are wiling to work with us to make sure you are properly equipped for a night in the snow.

XC Skiing at Yellowstone
Location not specified yetWe had such a great time xc skiing at Yellowstone last year that I need to organize another trip next year. It'll be so cold that you can do the "boiling water" challenge but it'll be fun! You can ski right next to many geysers and bisons will cut off your trail! In winter, the crowd will be gone and it'll be just us and the nature!
I booked two cabins at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge for this event. I'd like to keep group size to 8, as winter transportation inside the park is quite complicated: only snow coaches or snow mobiles are allowed in the park. Room rate per person will be around $200 for 3 nights. Total cost (plane tickets and ground transportation) is estimated to be $450 to $500 per person.
To join this trip, you need to have your own xc ski gears. We can decide how to get to West Yellowstone later. Last year we flew but we may drive this time. From there, we will travel as a group to get to Old Faithful Snow Lodge. I'll hash out the details when the time gets closer.
I want you to go! Here are the best ways to get on the Go list!
How to RSVP for this event!
#1 - Join the wait list, and if I know you, I may directly add you to the going list (if I can), and if I am not yet friends with you, I will reach out via PM and introduce myself.
#2 - By RSVPing or joining the waitlist for this event, you certify you have read and agree with the Hike’rizons Backpacking Expectations.
We organize on Facebook/Facebook messenger, so you do not need to use Facebook, but you must be able to use Messenger. When you join a chat for an event, you will understand why.
YOU ARE NOT ACTUALLY ON THE "GOING" LIST UNTIL I ADD YOU TO THE FACEBOOK CHAT!
Please see our Attendance and Refund Policies.
This meetup cares more about who we are going with, then where we are going. This means we won't take off and leave you, we are very fun and social, and we hope you will join our community based hiking hiking and backpacking group.
Community based hiking and backpacking group? Yes, we are not destination-of-the-week based with 12 strangers, and then next week a new hike with 12 strangers.
We are a friend community and we hope you will give us a try.8 attendees
