Hiking / Backpacking Itineraries

The library of itineraries provided here is a collection of possible trip itineraries for weekend prep treks or multi day trips.  Some of these itineraries are plans we have considered but not completed. If you have an itinerary you think would be interesting, please contact us and we will work on adding it to the library. (click the text in the boxes to open the links)

Each itinerary is listed with a summary of the distance, elevation change, and elevation change per mile, listed as (Distance / Ascent/ Steepness / Flat Mile Equivalent).  The difficulty of a trail is most easily assessed by the steepness, with larger numbers usually indicating steep climbs. As a broad generalization, 

• less than 100 feet per mile is an easy walk for most hikers.

• 150 - 200 feet per mile will be the challenging for novice hikers.

• 200 - 250 feet per mile will be comfortably challenging for seasoned hikers.

• more than 300 feet per mile will be challenging for seasoned hikers.

Hours to hike are provided in the daily details on each itinerary. See here for tips on evaluating trails for your group.
