Description
Join us for a day of fun, fearless, female camaraderie. This offsite class is a follow-up to the Women's Backpacking clinic at REI and a pre-cursor for upcoming Womyn in Wilderness Grand Canyon backpacking trips. Topics to be covered: 1) Desert hiking etiquette and safety, 2) How to enjoy the backcountry and still practice Leave No Trace ethics, 3) How to Pack Right and Travel Light for comfortable and fun backpacking trips. Hikers are encouraged to bring expedition backpacks for a ?test run?. We will start the day with some basic yoga stretches then take the back loop up to the top of Piestewa Peak. This hike is rated at moderate; yoga is appropriate for all levels of experience. Bring a backpack, appropriate desert hiking shoes, camera, layers for warmth or rain, sun protection, at least 2 liters of water, snacks and lunch. It is recommended interested women attend the Women's Backpacking clinic at REI before attending the Women-specific Hiking clinic.
