The Everett Mountaineers Backpacking Class consists of two evening lectures and one weekend backpack field trip. In the Backpacking class you will learn techniques for trip planning, equipment selection, preparing food, minimum impact camping, safety, wilderness ethics and much more. Great class for beginning backpackers who want to learn good skills and have a fun time on over night trips. We recommended that those new to backpacking or hiking take the Everett Branch Hiking and Ten Essentials class offered in April. NOTE: You must attend both lectures in order to participate in the overnight field trip.

See the course schedule for location and times. The lectures typically last 3 hours. For more information and to sign up, contact lead instructor: Ralph Sanders, hiking@everettmountaineers.org.
