Monthly Outings

Generally, we go off on an outing the third weekend of every month. Since our Troop focuses on backpacking, we'll usually take about a 10-mile roundtrip backpacking trip, five miles in on Saturday and five miles out on Sunday. Some of our most popular weekend hikes:

Point Reyes Forest of Nicene Marks Big Basin Sword Lake Dardanelles Lake (near Lake Tahoe) Austin Creek Relief Reservoir Mount Tamalpais

 

We also love to go skiing. Each winter in either January or February we'll spend a weekend skiing. In the past few years we've gone to:

• Yosemite's Badger Pass
• Alpine Meadows
• Sugar Bowl
• Donner Ski Ranch
• Kirkwood
• Bear Valley

 

And we often take other car-camping trips. These include:

• Dillon Beach
• Chabot Regional Park
• Russian River canoe trip
• Mount Diablo rock climbing
• Bodega Dunes
• Pinnacles National Monument
• Black Diamond Mines
• Del Valle Reservoir
