Five miles is a good backpacking trip for a beginner. Find a trail near you by visiting your local outdoor outfitter. These stores are most often staffed by people who enjoy backpacking and can provide you with valuable advice on destinations. Once you've got a 5-mile trip under your belt, why not look at the [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Recreation/Pioneering|Pioneering]] honor and make your next trip a 15-miler? If you make it a 15-mile hike, you can also count this backpack trip toward the hardest requirement of the [[Adventist_Youth_Honors_Answer_Book/Recreation/Hiking|Hiking Honor]].
