We are a backpacking group based in New Mexico, primarily in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe metro areas who tend to hike at a moderate pace, which is about two miles per hour, depending on elevation gain and other conditions. Safety takes first priority. We welcome backpackers of all experience levels. You don't have to be an ultralight backpacker, but know your own limits and preferences. Our trips take place primarily in NM, CO, UT, and AZ but if there is any interest in routes in other Western states, please reach out to Michelle to suggest an itinerary.

Please send Michelle a DM (direct message) with the last two backpacking trips you've taken with total distance and rough elevation gain.
