Where to Go?!
The Backpack Section's
"Where to Go?!" pages are a work in progress.
Our intention is to provide a resource of information on
backpacking destinations, based on the experiences of our
trip leaders and members. Thinking about going to a
particular spot? Check our Trip Reports and read our
first-hand accounts. Not sure where to go? Check our
listings and find an area that suits your interests.
For now, we're busily
posting trip reports from the past few years, indexed
only by geographical location (park, wilderness area,
national forest, etc.).
