Tacoma Hiking & Backpacking Committee
Check out our calendar to see all of the committee's current and upcoming activities!
Hiking
Our hikes are led year round by skilled and experienced Mountaineers whose goals are the safety and enjoyment of the whole team. Hikes of all difficulties are available and we require the 10 essentials on all day hikes.
The committee's Conditioning Hiking Series course begins in March and is offered every year.
backpacking
Enjoy overnight backpacking trips with a group of like-minded travelers. We offer single and multi-night trips as well as an Introduction to Backpacking Course beginning each March.

We offer an evening Trail Emergency Preparedness Seminar for those interested in brushing up on basic first aid.
For more experienced participants, the Tacoma Branch offers challenging opportunities to develop skills in Wilderness First Aid, Wilderness Navigation, and Outdoor Leadership.
