This beginning backpacking course is great for someone who is comfortable outdoors but has never backpacked or who has limited backpacking experience. We have equipment to use so no need to have anything of your own. We will cover safety, route planning, outdoor ethics, equipment, food and hydration. The class will culminate in a 2-3 backpacking trip in the Bighorn Mountains. You will pack your own 30-40 pound backpack for several miles so must be physically able to do this. The goal is that you will leave this class confident enough to plan and execute your own backpacking trip.
