Learn the basics of backpacking in this introductory course while enjoying the beauty of the Yosemite backcountry. Yosemite features a variety of routes, each with its own distinct and ideal season and conditions for exploration. Our guides will take you into the backcountry and show you the park's wonders while teaching route finding using a map and compass, how to establish a camp with minimum environmental impact, the basics of packing light, outdoor cookery and menu planning, natural history and personal care. In addition to acquiring basic backcountry skills, you'll enjoy a weekend in the sublime beauty of one of the world's most revered wilderness areas, Yosemite National Park. Be aware that this is a backpacking course, and participants will be required to carry their personal gear (weighing about 20-25 lbs) and a portion of their tent, food, and group gear (weighing about 10-15 lbs) for the duration of the trip.
