What To Expect
We’ll begin with a delicious dinner at Calvin Crest on Thursday night, along with a brief orientation and gear check. We’ll depart early Friday morning for the backcountry, and return back to Calvin Crest between 2-3pm on Sunday. We will be backpacking in the Ansel Adams Wilderness from about 7,500′-10’000. There are well established trails that we will take to our destination. Depending on the desires and ability of the group, there may be optional cross-country exploration or a summit hike. No previous backpacking experience is needed, however, you should be able to hike 4-6 miles at elevation with a 30-35lb pack. If that sounds daunting, we are happy to talk with you about some training tips and how to best prepare.
