Camping and hiking both have there pros and cons. Of course a camping trip can be an extremely enjoyable and special experience provided you are well prepared and are armed with all the camping gear necessities to see you through till you return home.
If you carry your backpack for long periods of time, It can eventually affect your entire body, particularly your back. Always dress appropriately in layers for winter camping. There are certain books and around this website that will give you detailed information about the major climbing areas in the state.
However, even in familiar areas you could just as easily get lost and you never know the quality of the printing on the maps, so do not risk getting the maps washed or smudged by rain or moisture. You will need to be able to spend long hours walking, without producing chafing or blisters. Share your breakfast with a chipmunk, all without leaving your campsite.
Our first spring weekend trip took us to a beautiful BC Provincial park. Depending on some of the options that you have, you may even be able to get internet and cell phone accesses. Lightweight waterproof jackets and pants are good items for protection against rain and wind.
Hiking and climbing are fairly inexpensive sports, so get out there. Do a little research online, read reviews and shop around.
