ABOUT BACKPACKING CASTLE ROCK STATE PARK

Untitled document

 

Learn backpacking skills in the Bay Area's backyard.

Castle Rocks's proximity to the Bay Area and it's extensive trail system make this trip our most popular backpacking skills class. Join us as we travel through the Santa Cruz mountains, gaining beautiful views of the Monterey Bay, passing by redwoods and Castle Rock's unique sandstone features.  We make our camp where we cover more skills training, share adventure stories and enjoy a gourmet backcountry meal.

Throughout our trip we cover essential backpacker know-hows, such as:

  • Navigation in the backcountry
  • Wilderness safety protocols
  • Leave no trace principals
  • Backcountry cooking techniques
  • This trip is designed for beginning to intermediate backpackers in good physical condition.

    Space is limited so reserve a spot on this course!
