I’ve written a series of articles about backpacking trips that work for Scouts ages 10 to 14. Some have a “split hike” possibility where older, stronger Scouts can take a different route to the same campsite.

• Sunol Regional Wilderness Preserve
• Coast Camp at Point Reyes
• Angel Island State Park
• Black Diamond Mines
• Berry Creek Falls in Big Basin
• Boulder Creek Scout Reservation
• Eagle Spring Camp at Mission Peak
• Black Mountain Trail Camp at Monte Bello Open Space
• Manzanita Ridge at Henry Coe State Park
• Castle Rock State Park
• Pioneer Outpost at Cutter Scout Reservation

See you on the trail!
