North Cascades, WA – Wilderness Backpacking:

Get out and explore the natural wonders of the wilderness areas here in the Cascade Mountain Range by trail and foot! While on this trip you will learn how to cook in the backcountry, care for yourself and the group while in the field for 5 days, and how to use a map.

This trip is an amazing opportunity to get out into the world and see the natural beauty that awaits you! As we learn about the wilderness area we travel through, we will do some service and talk about what stewardship looks like. There are many peaks to view, lakes to hike next to, and streams to cross.

We will meet in Leavenworth to pack gear and food, and we will make sure all participants have proper gear and clothing. We do have equipment if you do not own all items.
