The BACKPACKING COMMITTEE offers trips to numerous locations in California plus select locations in Hawaii and Arizona. Typically our leaders can take you to Big Sur, the Los Padres National Forest, the Ventana Wilderness, Yosemite National Park, Sequoia National Forest and Park, Kings Canyon National Park, Grand Canyon National, Havasupai Indian Reservation, Point Reyes National Seashore, San Jacinto State Wilderness, Angeles National Forest, San Bernardino National Forest, and San Gorgonio Wilderness.
 
The BACKPACKING COMMITTEE sponsors and conducts outings devoted primarily to backpacking - from easy family-type trips to strenuous cross-country treks. Most of our trips include bus transportation. Due to wilderness permit limits and to minimize the cost of bus transportation, we occasionally conduct a non-backpacking outing which offers lodging and hiking. Safety and imagination are our only limits.
