3 days/2 nights backpacking in the Castle Wilderness Area
Tentative plan is making a loop utilizing the Great Divide Trail and Barnaby Ridge with a side trip to La Coulette and Sage Pass (but we are pretty open to ideas!). We like to have big days, and short evenings in camp, so expect to be on your feet most of the time.
Please note this an area we are not at all familiar with, so a sense of adventure is required! There is one or two steep scrambling bits which will be challenging with a large pack. We will also be bringing our small but mighty mountain dog which we think adds a lot of fun but is not everyone's cup of tea.

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.
