Have you wanted to go backpacking without the hassle of reservations and enjoy stunning campsites away from the crowds?

The date and venue of the evening portion will be discussed with the group.

Bob has an amazing wealth of backpacking experience and will share tips on food storage in bear country, making latrines, how to make no trace campfires, options for water purification and much more.

Cancellation Policy
If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Rocky Mountain Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
