D&T Treks: Bay-Area Backpacking (beginner-friendly)

Men 16+

All creeds welcome.

Adventure Score: 2

If you’re a man new to backpacking or just looking for a relaxing, outdoor hang with the boys, this overnight adventure is for you!

God willing, we’ll spend a couple of days trekking through the iconic rolling grasslands of Henry Coe State Park. This is hilly country that will get your heart pumping and your quads burning, for sure. But don’t worry. We’re keeping the mileage short on this very beginner-friendly adventure to maximize the immaculate vibes and good times.

Summer at Henry Coe is a symphony of golden grasses, silver ponds, and clear skies, a glorious wilderness just outside the Bay Area metropolis.

Although shot in the winter, the footage below is from Henry Coe.
