Backpacking Building Blocks Student-Only Backpack - Bogachiel River Trail

Field trip: Backpacking Building Blocks (B3) Course

Backpacking Building Blocks Student-Only Backpack - Bogachiel River Trail

This field trip will give B3 students the opportunity to try out gear and new skills on an easy overnight backpack with an experienced mentor. The Bogachiel river valley is the less-loved northern neighbor of the Hoh but just as beautiful! We'll follow the river through rainforest for six miles to our camp. I'll even show you the part of the trail that I built earlier this winter.
