Backcountry stepping techniques can help your knees, keep you upright and widen your smile because sometimes a backcountry trail is anything but smooth.

With our trekking poles activities, you’ll discover better balance and improved pace while reducing impacts to your knees. We’ll also discuss backpack loading options for better balance. Additionally, a footwear and sock clinic and mileage strategy tips for the backcountry will round out the day. “Finding Your Trail Legs” is for the Beginner to the Experienced. Savvy stepping and improved odds of a joyful journey are just one class away.
