Learn about the CMC's Backpacking Section (BPX) and become a member here.
The leader's permission is required before signing up for this trip. Please email heisecolorado@gmail.com to get that permission.
You must have recent experience doing 3-4 day backpacking trips. You must know how to use your bear canister or Ursack correctly. We will not be doing a traditional bear hang. RMNP requires a hard-sided bear canister. They told me they will also accept an Ursack with the metal insert.
Our pace will be moderate with rest stops.
You must be a team player with a positive attitude. Let's have a safe, fun trip!
All participants will share in the cost of the backcountry permit (Total cost of $36).
