Women’s Intro to Backpacking Trip

Step into the backcountry on this 3-day, 2-night women’s backpacking adventure designed for connection, confidence-building, and a deeper experience in the mountains. This trip is about slowing down, learning new skills, and sharing an unforgettable experience with a supportive group of women in the beautiful backcountry of Revelstoke.

*This trip runs from 9am on Saturday, August 29th to 4pm on Monday, August 31st.*

This space is intentionally created for anyone who identifies as a woman to feel comfortable, welcomed, and empowered outdoors.

Over three days and two nights, we’ll venture into some of Revelstoke’s most beautiful terrain. Picture alpine lakes, wildflower meadows, mountain views, and peaceful backcountry camping. Expect moderate hiking days with a steady pace, plenty of breaks, and lots of time to take it all in and learn from your instructors and each other.
