This event will feature Melody George, who fell in love with backpacking over 20 years ago at age 19 while spending the summer in Olympic National Park. Melody has done some backpacking with her daughter between ages 7 and 11. Melody joined the Mountaineers in 2017 and has really appreciated the interdependence hiking with other Mountaineers and has gained confidence and strength for backpacking trips without kids while continuing to enjoy hikes with her daughter. Melody will share a slide show, route details and logistics suggestions for two unforgettable backpacking routes in the Olympics: Grand Valley and the Hoh River Trail to Blue Glacier.
