Planning for Camping: GORP

GORP LogoI came across a site that I like, GORP.  I’m doing research on places to hike and camp in the US, and this website is very thorough.  In addition, they have a trail finder which allows you to get detailed information about various trails based on location.  My goal is to find a series of websites that can help me determine where to start my trip, and what to see while I’m there.  If I can manage all of that then I’m sure it will be a successful trip.

The GORP Trail Finder

I’m particularly interested in Utah, because I know that there are some awesome caverns.  My last vacation involved a hotel and museums, and I would like this vacation to involve hiking, natural beauty, and caverns!  Some features require free registration.  I unchecked all of the offers for travel, and if it turns out to be spamalot then I will post back here.

After searching around for a while I realized that GORP also runs Adventure Finder.  This sounds appealing to me because I do not have any experience in the wilderness.  It would be nice to go on a camping trip for fun and to learn some things without having to starve to death or hunt bears to eat and keep warm.

One trip that seems interesting is the 3 Day Backpack – A Taste of Glacier National Park this is a hiking and camping adventure through the backwoods of the Glacier National Park.
