What we’re about
Are you interested in overnight backcountry travel? If you long to sleep under the stars, do multi-day treks in the wilderness, or paddle all day and sleep on beaches at night you have come to the right place.
All levels of experience are invited though some trips may not be appropriate for all members. There is an emphasis on getting out there especially on weekends and helping people expand their abilities in backcountry travel.
Some activities will include backpacking, kayaking, canoeing, ski touring, snowshoeing, and bicycle touring.
Come join us, learn more about traveling in the backcountry and find friends to explore with. We look forward to seeing you!
