Join us for a magical backpacking excursion for those wanting to center themselves before a hectic Halloweekend. Come with us to reconnect, revitalize, and rejuvenate the soul away from the hussle and bussle of the stress inducing modern world. If you’re looking for a solid outdoor experience but don’t have a whole weekend to spare, join us for this quick one night backpacking trip—no backpacking experience required, but be prepared to sweat out all that urban toxicity. This is perfect for anyone looking for a nice introduction to backpacking. We will be doing a decently difficult 6ish miles into Dobbs Camp through some lovely mountain scenes along Momyer Creek Trail in the San Bernardino National Forest. Pack your pack as we attack this track before the Halloween yack.
