New Mexico offers an abundance of trails that stretch for hundreds of miles, just waiting for you to explore. Whether you're seeking a weekend of solitude with your family or a solo thru-hike from Mexico to Canada, adventure is right in our backyard. If you're interested in backpacking but don't know where to start, this clinic is perfect for you. It's designed for beginners who've never shouldered a backpack before, as well as those who want to learn more about hiking safely in the backcountry. The eight-hour course will take you from the basics to the essential things you need to know for an extended thru-hike. We'll use a combination of classroom and hands-on learning, including a field trip to the base commissary and BX and a short, easy day hike.
We’ll cover the following topics:
• Planning and preparing for a trip
• Risk management and safety
• Proper pack fit and pack loading
• Essential, optional, and non-essential gear
• Care and uses of gear
• Self-care
• Leave-no-trace ethics
