How often do you overnight hike or backpack?

We usually try to go a few times a year, but we really want to increase that to once a month at some point.

How about you all?

Goal to backpack is a one nighter once a month, I generally achieve 5-6 times a year. Below is a couple pics of an overnighter in slot canyons in Utah. Bull Valley Gorge south to Willis Gorge and back north to Starting point. Fifteen mile loop with 80% of the trail in the two slot canyons.

Do you know the story behind the car?

Yes, back in the 50’s three guys lost control on the curve, and fell into the slot canyon and got wedged in there, killed all three. They never retrieved the car.
