What is a good backpacking trip in the Western US for 10 days?

February 8th, 2010 | by admin |

My friends and I are looking for a nice backpacking trip somewhere in the western United States. We have all the necessary equipment for backpacking but the only condition is that we will have 2 dogs with us as well.

Can someone suggest a nice trip that we could take?

I am looking into doing part of the Tahoe Rim Trail, but we’d be up for just about anything. Thanks!

try pretty much anywhere in Colorado

im a coloradan adn have personally backpacked everywhere from the indian peaks range near boulder, to the gilpin lake rout near steamboat. If you really like to backpack, try doing a backpack adn mountain combo, just as long as your not coming from anywhere near sea level should be fine. and even if you are just make sure you spen a night or two in a hotel or just your car to make sure if you do get altitude sickness then it dosnt hit you to big, and you can drive out if it gets really bad…
