Title: Open to all: Western USA backpacking
Post by: EXTRA SPICY on March 20, 2023, 11:50:30 AM
Backpacking (for the title area) season is upon us soon Pals.


Every year I scramble to get a crew together, but figured why not open it up since there are a lot of heads that hike on here.

Mid April - Big Sur
May/June - Lost coast trail (permit pending)
July -Hetch Hetchy (permit pending)
September- Big SeKi (I have a permit spot for 4 more people)

If you’re hiking this summer on the western states, feel free to share.

The permit is for august 28-September 7. But you can always stretch it longer as needed. There’s a clockwise alt to make it shorter as well, but of course the goal is to do it in full.
We’ve got a buddy who can drop the resupply at onion valley as well already lined up.

very enticing. i haven't given a single thought to my 'big' trip for the year. completed the full Wind River High Route last August and just got off doing the full Georgia/North Carolina Appalachian Trail section last month.

my only question is........the snowpack in the sierra right now lol
