Campus Recreation: Colorado High Mountain Backpacking


Date: July 30- Aug 07


Explore the mountains in the San Juan Wilderness as we backpack 24 miles of this beautiful and challenging landscape. In some of the most exemplary backpacking in Colorado, we will find high peaks and cliffs, as well as jagged pinnacles and ragged ridges. This route is considered very challenging with a significant elevation gain of 4,000 feet in the first 8 miles. Once above tree-line, we will witness sweeping views and magnificent openness. Perhaps catch a peak at a wild sheep, elk, coyote or marmot, or enjoy the quiet peace of the wilderness. Whether your goal is to challenge yourself, meet new friends, or enjoy the peace of nature, this trip is for you.

Cost: $499, $100 deposit required to register with remained of cost $399 due one month before trip departure.


Activity Level: Intermediate/Strenuous. Participants do not need prior backpacking but must be physically fit. Participants should be able to carry a 40lbs backpack for up to 8 miles while gaining elevation a day. *Must pass our fitness test of completing two miles with a 40 lb on an inclined treadmill in one hour*
