Hiking & Backpacking

Hiking and backpacking are some of the most peaceful outdoor activities. Pitt Outdoors Club runs various trips each month, including day hikes and overnight backpacking. During winter months the club runs snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and backpacking mainly in the Laurel Highlands area. Trips are available for all levels of experience and the club encourages less experienced members to participate in these activities.
