Are you loooking for a beautiful escape with awesome people for your 2k23 spring break? Look no further and join us for a grand ole' time the Gila Wilderness in Southern New Mexico. This will be a 4-day, 35 mile, backpacking trip through grand valleys, over stunning mesas, leading to natural hot water springs created from ancient volcanic activity. Becasuse of the terrain and elevation in the Gila Wilderness, this is a BP4 trip. Thus, you must have a BP2+ rating in order to participate. 

We will take two days to drive out and two days to drive back, making this a 8-day trip. You must be available from 3/10 (6am)- 3/18 (9pm) to sing up for this trip. The overall cost of the trip is $300 and covers transportation, food, and permits. However, the cost does not cover lunches on the road, so be prepared to cover that on your own.
