8 am at the Stafford Creek trail head

Although open to all club members over age 18, this trip is also part of the B3 Backpacking Building Blocks series and eligible for B3 course credit. In addition, this backpack will have a practical instructional/learning focus and offer experience in proper gear use and camp set-up techniques.

From Stafford Creek trailhead we'll hike 5.5 miles to Navaho pass  and camp at the pass.  This hike is challenging but we will go at a slow-moderate pace.  This will be by no means a race to the top, but all participants must be in good physical condition and cardiovascular health.  There may be some snow in upper elevations so microspikes or comparable are required for the trip.  If there is too much snow, we will camp at a lower elevation.
