2025 Trips
Guided Backpacking Trips
multi-day hikes - overnight gear required
All WRG backpacking trips include a difficulty rating. This rating is based on the elevation gain per mile, with consideration to miles per day and how technical the terrain of that particular route might be. Technical terrain is gauged by how stable or unstable trail footing (rocks, roots, etc) might be and the environment (temps, weather, etc). Backpacking trip and ruck day ratings are not measured on the same scale (i.e. a moderate backpacking trip is inherently harder than a difficult ruck).
Backpacking Trips run with at least 3 hikers, max 6-8 hikers.
Guided Ruck days
single-day hikes - option to practice with overnight gear
If you are signed up for a WRG backpacking trip, (1) ruck day is free with your backpacking trip cost. If you are not registered for a backpacking trip, you can apply the cost of the ruck day to the registration cost of a future WRG backpacking trip (within 1 yr of Ruck Day date). These are guided hikes for those looking for an introduction to hiking or backpacking, or simply to meet other adventurous women who enjoy exploring outdoors.
Ratings for ruck days are on a different scale than backpacking trips. Ruck days are inherently easier than backpacking. If you are training for an easy-moderate backpacking trip, a difficult ruck will be great training for you.
Ruck Days run with at least 2 hikers, max 10 hikers.
