Description
Explore the wilderness of the Santa Cruz Mountains on our Bay to Sea backpacking trip. Campers will hike from the San Francisco Bay Area to the Pacific Ocean! This trip is an excellent introduction to backpacking, averaging 5 miles per day. Those with or without backpacking experience are welcome. Campers will learn basic wilderness skills, such as reading a map and camping with minimal impact on the land. They will also build lasting and caring relationships with friends and the environment.
A packing and gear list will be provided within your welcome packet after registration. If you need assistance coming up with the required gear, please reach out as we can help ensure campers have everything they need for the expedition!
