Backpacking consists of two major disciplines which are Hiking and Camping. The planning for a backpacking trip needs to be very detailed because everything that you will need must be carried with you in your backpack. Once you have started on your trip you can't easily replace something that you forgot to pack. Plans must be made for food, water and shelter so that your backpacking trip will be enjoyable. That's why we plan everything out for you so that all you have to do is carry your pack and enjoy your surroundings. We offer several different trips varying in length and difficulty. Trips can be as simple as a one night stay to a week long adventure all depending on what you would like to try. |
