Hiking & Backpacking Training and Conditioning
What is involved in Hiking and Backpacking?
Hiking outings typically involve traveling quite a distance over varied trails with the goal of getting to a specific
place, many times a scenic spot. This may or may not involve carrying a heavy pack or camping overnight. Hiking is
considered non-technical beacuse ropes and special gear are not required to travel safely.
