Lightweight Backpacking Trip

This is my very first backpacking trip ever and I am on it right now!  No, I didn’t bring my laptop along for the journey as I am off the grid.  Although I am looking forward to sharing what I’ve experienced upon my return.  I have really minimized my packing for a week and believe that this trip will truly give me new perspective on minimalism and environmentalism.  I have with me the clothes on my back and a single change of clothes including a skirt, thermal top and bottom, a fleece, down vest, sandals, sleeping bag, headlamp, and food.   I also have extremely minimal toiletries and a journal.  I know there will be a great deal to share!

    I’m so excited for your first backpack trip!!! Please let your blog-readers know how it went! I’ve been backpacking for many years (in Colorado) and hope you find it challenging and relaxing and soooo ‘back-to-nature’!!! Since one carries in the backpack ONLY what one ‘needs’, it is VERY ‘minimal’ of an experience. Enjoy!

    Thanks so much Annie! I did have a great time. For my first time there were a few rough spots, but I would definitely do it again. The terrain was unbelievable!
