A great way to learn all the basics of backpacking – from what types of meals and snacks you’ll need to how to train and exactly what gear you should buy. After going on this trip, I feel prepared to go on a multitude of backpacking trips due to the length (both in mileage and nights!) of this first trip. Lauren and Megan do an excellent job of thinking through every detail – from curated swag bags to how to download offline maps to your phone to which snacks are great on the trail. Lots of preparation on the front end made for a seamless trip with lots of downtime to enjoy the scenery, go for a swim and get to know other like-minded ladies! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to dip their toe into backpacking but isn’t sure where to start!
