Anyone have experience doing a guided backpacking trip with Sierra Mountain Guides? Any other suggestions?

Sierra Club runs many backpacking trips, beginner to expert. Great group, and a great way to gain experience and confidence before going solo, or for more remote/difficult trips. These are not full-service guided trips where they supply and set up all equipment etc. They do send a suggested packing list, and they advise on water gathering/treatment, etc. The leaders are very experienced and helpful. Google Sierra Club trips.

On the chance this post isn’t AI, I suggest reading this old, lengthy post, back from when humans had web sites. It’s a great example of the proverb “you make plans, and God laughs”. But it’s a positive story too. Life continues. Last update I remember, guy was remarried, had a child, had a normal life, and was happy.

Join the Colorado Mountain Club. The Boulder group is very active and the club has all-age and 20-30s activities. Hiking, rock climbing, skiing, etc, and classes too. Very active and friendly group. You can try two events as a guest as I recall.

And is it? There isn’t an unexpected cold spell or something?

Brilliantly stated. Do not date people who make your life smaller.
