Sign-ups are open for Reconnect Earth’s summer backpacking trips. There are four trips offered, with one open only to female and nonbinary participants. In the North Cascades National Park and Mount Baker National Forest, backpackers travel through an alpine landscape surrounded by jagged peaks. All levels of hikers are welcome. Reconnect Earth also offers rental gear for equipment that some may not have access to. These trips all have tuition costs that are higher based on the length of the trip. There are scholarship opportunities for those who qualify, and the scholarship can cover up to 80% of the tuition cost depending on the trip.
