Come #beonlinewithAMC along with Jess and Pam as they pictorially recount an experience of a lifetime: a horse-packing trip to northernmost Mongolia that they led in August 2019 for AMC's Adventure Travel Committee. In addition to visits to Mongolia's capital of Ulaanbaator and beautiful Lake Khovsgol, the heart of the trip took a group of excellent local guides and nine intrepid participants on a horseback route throughout the Darkhad valley: a gorgeous, remote land of open steppes, jagged mountains, sparkling lakes, and a colorful nomadic culture.
Join AMC Boston Co-Leaders Nav and PT as they recap their epic 2020 Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim adventure.

The presentation will be followed by a short Q&A session.
Zoom meeting information will be emailed out on March 16th.

Then we jump into a crucial conversation about managing risk on-trail including personal and environmental factors, basics of weather and how it will impact your activity, and what to do when things go wrong.

This time on the Hiking Skills series, we are going to dig into how to plan a great trip. What do you need to know about researching your location, understanding restrictions and other red tape, and inspiration for your future trips. Unless you are planning to travel off the trails - a topic beyond this series - you'll need to know how to read the signs to stay on them. We'll explain what all those painted marks on the trees mean And finally we'll cover the basics of how to read a map.
This week's Hiking Skills will focus on everything related to backpacking. While our focus is the woods and mountains of the Northeast, this principles will get you started in many places. We'll cover the additional gear considerations including tents, sleeping bags and stoves. What do you eat when you're "out there." And most importantly, how to put it all together to have a fun trip.
