An introduction to the skills needed to be a comfortable, competent, and happy backpacker. We’ll spend four nights camping in the wilderness at two different backcountry sites. We’ll summit Battle Ax Mountain, the tallest peak in the Opal Creek watershed, and swim in the sub-alpine lake below. We welcome all skill levels to join us for this expedition, especially those who are just becoming interested in backcountry travel.
