Women's Backpack


October 19-21, 2012


What better way is there to enjoy early fall than with a group of adventurous women on the trail and around the campfire. It’s “Girl Power” all the way as we climb mountains, ford streams and leave our hectic lives behind (along with make-up and under-wire bras, wahoo!).  Get ready to recharge your batteries while marveling at the natural wonders around you..

Join our guides and experience the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains firsthand on a three-day backpacking adventure.  We provide all the information, food and gear (except sleeping bag) for your excursion.  This is a safe, educational and enjoyable way to learn about backpacking in the Smokies.  Participants must be in good physical condition and, in consideration of others be able to keep up with the group, hiking 5-8 miles a day in rugged, mountainous terrain, carrying a heavy backpack. In addition to carrying your own gear, you should expect to carry group gear (tents, food, stoves).  Program lasts from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon.

Cost: $308
