Join us for this 2 day, 1 night backpacking trip in Pisgah National Forest. You'll hike a total of 7 miles over 2 days, and along the way you'll learn how to read a trail map, how to carry a pack, how to hike with trekking poles, how to set up a tent, how to cook and properly store your food, and more - all with a focus on lightweight techniques. This trip is designed for hikers with no previous backpacking experience, and will have a slower pace and lower daily mileage than many of our other trips. The trail is non-technical and perfect for beginners or younger hikers. Participants will learn all necessary skills to complete a backpacking trip, and will leave empowered to hit the trail again soon!
