The challenge of winter camping represents a level up in your backpacking game, and there are myriad reasons to hike into the outdoors when there’s snow on the ground and a chill in the air. No less than an entirely new and refreshed landscape awaits, the pine boughs heavy with a coat of snow, waterfalls, creeks, and lakes capped in ice, and the rhythmic crunch of boots breaking through powder with each step into the wintry world. It’s a smart idea to respect the power of nature, but there’s no reason to be intimidated by the idea of winter camping—all you need is a worthwhile destination and the knowledge to get you there and back safely.
