DC UL Backpacking Guiding Philosophy: To backpack the mid-Atlantic, focused on weekend trips and the occasional longer outing, with the idea to travel as many miles in a given day as possible, and to have a fulfilling backcountry experience.  While we do not (for the most part) insist on an extreme pace, we do strive to move far and to stay in constant motion.  In the summer, with ample daylight, this will likely result in 15, 20 and even 25 mile days.  In the winter, this might be limited to 10 …

Ask any pilot why they fly, but be ready to be there awhile, because we never …
