Medium-level backpacking for ages 12+ at Golden Gate Canyon. This is a one-night, intro trip for older kids who haven’t backpacked too much but want to try it. We’ll be gone 24 hours total. Everyone carries their own gear, including tents, sleeping bags, clothing, food + water. We have 2 campsites reserved, so everyone can spread out as much as desired within sightlines/hearing.
