What physical condition do I need to be in?

December 1, 2017

Almost anyone in basic physical condition can backpack. One way to insure a pleasurable experience is to train before your trip. Get used to carrying a backpack with a little extra weight on walks or hikes and slowly increase the weight as your trip gets closer. Remember that we are thinking of your enjoyment, so we always go at a pace that suits your needs, take ample rest breaks to enjoy the views, take photos, learn about wildflowers and geology, and keep hydrated and energized.
