We’ll combine our newly learned bushwhacking skills with our backpacking and trip-planning skills to design an adventurous route with lots to see and explore. We’ll plan our stops and remote campsite, but allow for learning, practicing, and improvisation as we explore what’s beyond the hiking crowds.

We’ll travel completely off-trail from start to finish using the skills we’ve learned like map & compass navigation, distance pace counting, orienteering techniques, GPS, and natural navigation to navigate our planned route. Throughout the first day, we’ll talk about key trip planning considerations, risk management techniques, first aid, backpacking gear, pack weight, shelter, and overall backcountry multi-day travel. After spending the night at our remote campsite we’ll have a leisurely start and enjoy the day as we bushwack a new way back. Students will leave this incredibly challenging and rewarding course feeling self-reliant and ready to plan and execute any trek in our area on their own.

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.
