March 2023 Events

Join 52 Hike Challenge this month for Backpacking 101, Backpacking 102 & Hike in Minnesota!


Join us Thursday, March 23 at 5:00 PM PT 

Join the 52 Hike Challenge Founder on Thursday March 23rd at 5 PM PT for a discussion on everything you need to know to get started backpacking. This event is brought to you by our partner Highlander Adventure and is a two part series.

After going through a difficult time in her life, Karla was inspired to begin her own hiking journey challenging herself to a hike per week as a means to get in shape. Once her challenge was complete, Karla couldn't believe the positive impact that the outdoors had on her life. She will give you her tips on backpacking and wisdom she has learned throughout the years. She has backpacked around the world and even completed the John Muir Trail in 2019.

What you'll learn:
-Planning your trip
-Gear you need
-Packing Your Pack
-Tips for an enjoyable experience and more

Come ready to ask questions and learn about other ways to get inspired to backpack.
On the day of the event, 500 participants may join us via zoom on a first-come basis.
