Mount Eddy Backpacking
About this program
Join us for a trip leaving from the Headwaters property into the Trinity National Forrest! With beautiful alpine lakes, ridges and plant life. This trip is the greatest way to kick off the Summer season! A class that was previously provided to our apprentices and work interns is now open to the public! We will walk off the land and head up into the trinites where we will camp by a beautiful lake. There will be fishing and swimming along the way. We will then head out and head to the peak of Mount Eddy with a stunning view of the surrounding lands! We will then head down to a group of lakes called Deadfall lakes where we will spend a couple days enjoying the beauty!
Previous backpacking expereince is required: This trip is considered an intermediate course - we will be off trail backpacking on some rough terrain.
* There is a chance of snowy and rocky terrain*

What people are saying:
This trip is both wonderful and challenging for 4th graders. They sleep under the stars in a shelter they built, jump into mud puddles, swim in cool water, hike through dark caves and forests, and do it all as a tribe. I cannot stress how important these trips are for the children to embark on together. During the New Village journey, there will be many more trips like this that allow our students to develop flexibility and grit. Experiences like these help them grow as individuals and as a class.
