Looking for a place to go for a last minute Backpacking trip. Was hoping to go to Pictured Rocks or to Porcupine Mountains but waited too long and both are booked up. Anyone have any ideas for a 4 day 3 night trip within 5 hours of the Appleton area? Looking to get out on Thursday 7/16.

Looks like 4.5 hrs will get you to Copper Falls State Park. Some pretty amazing water falls will make you forget you are in the Midwest.

Haven’t done much camping down in that part of the state. You usually can’t go wrong with the state parks although it seems they haven’t been maintaining them like they used to which is sad. Sites are typically spaced out decently so you aren’t on top of your neighbors. Most parks have great ranger led programs for families. There are a lot of good opportunities within 3-4 hrs of driving. Our favorite is Peninsula State Park in door county. There is so much to do in the area. Kids always had a good time. Make sure to stop at PC Junction and ride the pedal cars if you go. Your family can paint a sign to hang on the wall. It’s fun to go back years later to find your sign.

Just drove by the store yesterday and took a peek inside. Still looking pretty empty. Looking forward to the classes.

Thanks for everyone’s input. I figured it would come down to personal preference. I got a gift card for a wellness thing they work so it made it a no brainer. Purchased a REI Flexlite Air last night. Will have to see how it works out. If anything I can always use car camping as well. Liking the forum so far.

I know this one is debatable but I’m looking for opinions on both sides. I’m ready to pull the trigger on a REI Flexlite chair. Seems a bit pricey? Plus the extra wt. I’m trying to lighten up my gear not add to the wt. Justifying it by looking at a lighter pack like the ULA Circuit. Of those that have one is it worth the extra pound?

Flat lander looking for a 4-5 day moderate backpacking loop in or near Kings Canyon. Have done Grand Canyon and RMNP. Looking to check out the Sierras. have been looking at the Jennie Lakes loop. Having a hard time finding info regarding permits and camp sites. Sounds like only need a permit for the time spent camping in KCNP but how difficult is it to get? Is there a lottery, first come first serve? Also the maps don’t show specific camp sites on the Jennie lakes area. Can you camp anywhere? Any other loops we need to check out?
