The good folks at Backpacker, our favorite magazine for hiking adventure, are coming to Portland!

The Backpacker Get Out More Road Tour will be at Eastern Mountain Sports on Marginal Way in Portland on April 15th at 1PM.

The tour puts on an inspirational and motivational program with hiking and backpacking tips and techniques (e.g. trip planning, cooking, fitness, and of course, GEAR!). Plus there will be great door prizes (read: GEAR!).

The hour long program is free and open to the public.

Local outdoor organizations are invited to set up an information table, too. To do so in Portland, contact Josh at EMS at 541-1919.

Hiking inspiration, fun people, gear, prizes... can't beat that! Bring it on (and spring, too!)
