  • Winter Backpacking and Camping

    You can actually be warm and quite comfortable camping in winter.  It is beautiful and way less crowded than in the summer. However, camp craft and self care are a whole different animal in winter conditions.  Learn about necessary winter gear, how to pack, what to wear, backcountry cooking, campsite selection and construction.  Pair camping with a 2 or 3 day tour of the trails in the White Mountains for an unforgettable winter experience.
