Backpacking Trips

Backpacking is my favourite outdoor activity and over the years I’ve done a lot of trips! Check out my trip reports for 1-night, 2-night, and multi-night trips. For more trip ideas, scroll to the bottom where I have several trip compilation posts, or check out my Adventure Index for a complete list by region. I’ve also created a considerable amount of backpacking resources in my Adventure Tips page, including planning and safety resources, as well as a whole guide to backcountry cooking!
