Navigating off-trail on a clear night with city skyline views under the stars is magical. Navigating at night in bad weather can also be a huge confidence builder. No matter what mother nature throws at us, night navigation presents additional challenges that add to our skill sets and hiking opportunities.

How do you get out of the woods or back to camp after that amazing sunset? How do those hiking photographers get to mountain peaks for incredible sunrise photos? By hiking in the dark of course! Our bushwhacking night navigation course allows students to experience hiking off-trail at night in a safe learning environment to open up new opportunities like sunrises, sunsets, and distant nighttime views. To add to our solid bushwhacking foundation, we’ll add some new navigation techniques to our toolbox to help guide us when the lights go out. What some would say is a daunting task will turn into one of the most fun, memorable, and confidence-building experiences. Those who complete this course and acquire these skills can consider themselves well-rounded and respected navigators.

Prerequisite: Bushwhacking 2

Digital App Hike Planning 1 is the prerequisite to this follow-up course, Digital App Hike Planning 2, which introduces new skills and reinforces what we learned in the first course. Skills are conveyed with a 3-hour hands-on exercise where we plan a backpacking trip from start to finish utilizing multiple apps for what each one does best.

Planning our virtual adventure will take us down a road where we will research places for a 5-day backpacking trip, choose our trailhead(s), investigate parking opportunities, research available daylight and weather constraints, plan our route with appropriate daily hikes based on elevation and terrain, choose primary and backup water sources and campsites, analyze risk and plan for bailout routes, identify our catching and collecting features to confirm navigation choices while in the field, and plan for emergencies. We'll discuss what food we'll carry and how much water, our cooking system, shelter system, and sleep system based on our route and conditions. Although CalTopo is our primary planning app, we will utilize other apps such as Avenza, AllTrails, PeakFinder, Google Maps, and internet searches to thoroughly plan an exciting fun trip that leaves no stone unturned and sets us up for success even if a low probability emergency should occur.

Minimum Age: 12 years old - the minor(s) and a parent/guardian must all be paid registered participants.

There are important considerations that every woman who treks into the woods, solo or with a group, should not ignore. Knowing what those considerations are, and having the knowledge and skills to address them with planning, mitigation, and preparation is essential to enjoying safe hikes and backpacking trips. Part of this course takes place during a guided hike.

Developed by a female search and rescue member and taught by experienced outdoor women, the Women in the Wilderness 8-9 hour course (finishing time depends on the pace of those on the hike) conveys the knowledge and skills needed to gain the confidence for safe and enjoyable hiking and backpacking. Designed for women new to hiking and backpacking, as well as more advanced female trekkers looking to level up, this course covers everything from safety concerns such as encounters with wildlife (human animals being a large focus!), hiking solo and in groups, the three Ps (peeing, pooping, and periods), wilderness hygiene, female-specific hiking clothing and gear, and overall trip planning. There will be opportunities to ask any personal or uncomfortable questions of our instructors in private as well. Benefit from our hard-won experience allowing you to feel even more prepared and empowered for your next outdoor adventure.

Sorry men, this one isn't for you! This will allow them a safe space to connect, learn, and focus on the subjects that matter to them.

Minimum Age: 10 years old - the minor(s) and a parent/guardian must all be paid registered participants.

This guided hike has a nominal non-refundable $15 registration fee to secure your spot.

Mount Tammany needs no introduction, but we'll give it one anyway! It stands at an impressive 1,526' tall, forms the eastern side of the Delaware Water Gap, and is a bucket list hike since some consider it, mile for mile, the most difficult hike in NJ. While not everyone agrees on that point, it is certainly a challenging fun hike!

Mount Tammany is in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, but we hike through Worthington State Forest to get there and return. It is a 3.5-mile loop hike with about 1,250’ of elevation up and down. It's a challenging hike due to its rocky terrain and elevation gain, but we'll take it at a moderate pace and enjoy the incredible views along the way.

After making our way through the lowland woods near the Dunnfield Creek, we'll start our rocky and constant ascent. After about 1/2 mile and 400' of climbing we'll reach our first views overlooking the Delaware River and Mount Minsi on the other side in PA which makes up the other side of the Delaware Water Gap. After a quick break, we'll continue upwards on our rocky but well-defined trail, navigating step-ups and switchbacks until we reach the views higher up and the ridge. We'll hike along the ridge with scattered views until we loop back along a steep and rocky trail down, passing a waterfall and interesting scenery until we arrive back at the base of the mountain.

The parking and hike details are emailed after registration.

Kaaterskill High Peak, at 3,655', is one of the 33 Catskill 3500 peaks that one must climb to become a Catskill 3500 Club member.

Note: This hike goes to the peak of the 3,655' mountain called Kaaterskill High Peak. It does not pass by or go to Kaaterskill Falls.

This is a challenging hike of 8 miles and 2,100' of elevation change that we'll take at a moderate pace over the course of about 8 hours. Along the route of both marked and unmarked trails, we will visit two plane wrecks and a Mohawk Indian Camp. We'll split the group near the top so the more adventurous TrailBounders can take the fun steep scramble approach from the South, while the more conservative of us can take the more sensible approach from the North! Either way, we will all be rewarded with breathtaking views up top!

Join the TrailBounders for an epic day of adventure!

The parking and hike details are emailed after registration.
