Are you drawn to the simplicity of life on the trail? Do you want to find time away from the everyday hustle of day to day life? Do you long to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature? Do you like the feeling of being self-sufficient and accomplishing things on your own?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, then come check out our Backpacking 101 clinic!
Backpacking is an adventure that we think everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. We also realize it can be daunting to plan and prepare for it if you're new to the scene and it's a frightening adventure to tackle if you've never done it before. That's what we're here for at Alpine Shop and the Pathfinder.
