PWB 110 - Hiking & Backpacking

Min Units: 1
Max Units: 1
In this semester-long course, we will consider hiking/backpacking as a recreational sport in both its historical and cultural context. Students will have the opportunity to go on hikes and develop/plan their own backpacking trip to fulfill the Physical Well Being requirement. This course is designed to teach the value of both urban nature and wilderness experiences and the knowledge and skill necessary for enjoyable and safe basic hiking and wilderness trips. During Fall and Spring terms, open to students who have not completed a PWB course. (U) Occasionally
