We enjoy spending time in spectacular places while sharing our love of backpacking with adventurous women. But we know getting ready for a backpacking trip can be overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time on the trail or you’re taking on more mileage than you’ve completed in the past.

Our goal in providing this free resource at AGC is to answer common backpacking questions and provide you with enough information to hit the trail confidently.

Lightweight backpacking is a remarkable experience that we hope everyone gets to enjoy. You may make mistakes, and they will become part of your adventure story. The honest error would be staying home when your heart wants to be on the trail.
