Long Distance Hiking preparation
New classes to be announced in the Fall. Preparing for a long distance hike? Do you want to hike the Appalachian trail, Pacific Crest trail, or the Continental Divide Trail? This is a hands-on class, presented by a woman who has hiked all three. We will be putting up tents, cooking, and playing with gear. We will have discussions on “leave no trace” ethics, guides, maps, hygiene, gear (stoves, packs, tents, tarps), gear weight, hiking partners, hiking a dog, clothing, helpful web sites, safety concerns and back-country cooking.
