Please call the Camp Office if you have any questions about the trip ratings.
OPEN sessions are suitable for any level of experience - beginner through advanced.
Programs assigned this rating are more instructional based and require participants to focus on skills being taught and to be motivated to practice. An excellent introduction to the great outdoors and a good choice for a shorter, less strenuous, first time adventure. Backpacking is both a challenging and rewarding activity so be prepared to push yourself a little. A great choice for the more adventurous beginner or those with previous backpacking experience. We will spend a few days acclimating in the foothills of the Rockies with some day hikes and exploring before heading to the heights and across the Continental Divide for a self-supported backpacking trip of a lifetime.
