An Austin area Meetup group that is dedicated to multi-day backpacking trips.
We will start off with conditioning hikes on the greenbelt and some easy overnight trips to the state parks.
The goal is to encourage backpacking and to grow our outdoor skills together so that we can take longer trips to Colorado or New Mexico.
If you love the outdoors and are interested in doing more than day hikes, we hope you will sign up for Austin Backpackers.
All skill levels are welcome here.
Let's see if we can't assemble a group of committed, fun loving backpackers to get us all out on the trail more often.

“I've been a camper and a hiker, but I've never joined the two into backpacking, which means I'll need to start looking for some gear and get into some of the trips. I'm looking forward to making some new friends and learning a lot!” -
