Description

Katie (she/they) and Giuliana (she/her) started backpacking in 2020 to escape into nature during the COVID lockdown. Since then, they've backpacked throughout the White Mountains in NH and did a rim-to-rim hike in the Grand Canyon! They're excited to share their backpacking tips and tricks and to lead a group backpacking trip in May! This skill share is a prep session for the May Tully Lake backpacking trip May 27-28 that registration hasn't opened for yet. We'll cover the basics of backpacking in the first part of the session (open to anyone) and then we'll go into the specifics of the Tully Lake backpacking trip. This prep session is not required for the May backpacking trip but is encouraged for anyone who is new to backpacking! Bring whatever you need to be comfortable for a couple hours at Danehey Park (e.g., blanket, chair, snacks, water, sunscreen!). Meet at the Grill Area.
