Backpacking

I like all types of hiking, but my first love is backpacking. There's nothing like camping under the stars in some remote place that you can reach only under your own power. This is a list of all the multi-day backpacking trips I've taken. Some are entirely on-trail, others include considerable bushwhacking, but most have a little of each.
