Long Term Summer Backpack - August 2024
COMPLETE THIS FORM BY MONDAY, MAY 27, 2024

Plan:  We will complete a loop in Yosemite National Park, starting near Glacier Point.  We will hike through forests and have great views of classic Yosemite domes.  The loop is about fifty miles.  There are some peak climb and fly fishing opportunities.  A backup trip will start on the west side of the Sierras at Courtright Reservoir if we cannot get the permits.

When: Meet at the Coast Christian parking lot at 8:00 am Saturday, August 2 or 3 (dates to be determined).  We will return on Friday, Aug 9 or Saturday, Aug 10, at the church around 6 pm.   Scouts will call about 1 hour before returning.  Total driving distance is about 660 miles.  We will try to get more permits the week prior to the trip, so we will not know the precise plans until then.  Refunds will be provided if you cannot attend because of lack of permits.

What:  The backpack is planned for seven days and six nights.  It is about 50 backpack miles.  The first night will be at a trailhead campground (car camping).  

Bring:  Packs need to be as light as possible.  Participants must be prepared to wade through rivers, hike and camp in rain, provide protection from mosquitoes and safeguard against hungry bears from stealing your food. Tents, stoves, cooking pans, and water purification equipment will be shared. Bear canisters and stoves can be checked-out from the troop inventory. All food must fit in a bear canister except the first hiking day’s food.  Scouts need to bring all of their own food.  We will stop for a fast food lunch during the first day’s drive.  You can also purchase something for dinner in the campground or bring something from home.  On the drive home, we will stop for lunch (bring money for up to three meals).  Bring a change of clothes for the ride home.

Help: WE WILL NEED DRIVERS.

Requirements: Participants must in good physical shape and participate in both of the training hikes.  BSA medical form part C is required.
