A Weekend at Shenandoah for Backpacking Birders

Join us to practice backpacking and birding skills at Shenandoah National Park, May 17 & 18. We’ll set up camp at Loft Mountain Campground, using frontcountry tent sites to demonstrate backcountry techniques like cooking with backpacking stoves and hanging a bear bag. On Sunday, we’ll look for birds on a two-mile hike along the Loft Mountain Loop before returning to DC. The hike includes the Frazier Discovery Trail, a designated birding and wildlife viewing site on the Virginia Bird & Wildlife Trail.

By registering for this trip, you’ll get early sign-up access for our free Backpacking 101 workshop series, April 19 and April 26, which will cover all the skills you’ll need on our trip.
