Cincy Hikes presents Backpacking Conditioning Hike at Johnson Hills Park

Here's a 20 week, monthly series of hikes that will aim to get you into shape to hike 8 miles and carry 30 pounds!  Group hikes are open to everyone, not just backpackers, but keep in mind the pace will be set to those carrying backpacks!  All are welcome!  

Our Johnson Hills hike will be aprox. 6 miles and the suggested weight to be carrying is  22.5 pounds.

This series of hikes will be 5 hikes, every 4 weeks, always on a Sunday morning. In order to be successful at the end of the series, it is reccomended that you work individually on increasing distance and weight on your own between our organized hikes.

Here's a training schedule to help you keep yourself on track!
