Dear folks,
In some of the introductions, I've noticed a few:"I don't have much
backpacking experience...". Well if you live in Southern California, I can
recommend a great course that is put on by the Sierra Club called the Wilderness
Travel Course. It is a ten week classroom and several field experiences. They
spend a weekend at Joshua Tree doing navigation and a little rock scrambling.
The highlight of the course is a snowcamping weekend in the Sierras. It is
run all by volunteers and only costs $200.
The course starts in early January and ends in March. It would be a
great way to prepare yourself for more ambitious hiking. Here is a link:
