Backpacking 101: Joshua Tree
Join Outdoor Recreation for an opportunity to trek into the back-country of Joshua Tree National park! The group will enjoy the incredible landscape with boulders to scramble in the day and a star-riddled night sky with hardly any light pollution for the ultimate star viewing pleasure. This will be a guided backpacking trip along a relatively level terrain and a great program for all levels of experience. If you are a beginner, this is a great trip to challenge yourself and see if backpacking is right for you under Outdoor Recreation guides’ expertise.
