Why join?

Step off the John Muir trail with TSX co-founder Chris Casado and get to know some of the High Sierra’s less-traveled routes.

About this talk

The John Muir Trail may get most of the attention, but some of the Sierra’s most memorable backpacking experiences are found beyond the well-traveled routes.

Join TSX Challenge co-founder Christopher Casado for a practical introduction to exploring the quieter, more remote corners of the High Sierra. We’ll cover route selection, gear, training, navigation and what to expect when you step away from the established trails.

Whether you are preparing for your first Sierra backpacking trip or looking for a more adventurous route, this event will help you plan your next challenge with confidence.
