USA Today published this article about comfy hiking trips in Oregon, where trekkers can hike during the day but sleep in a lodge with hot showers at night.
The protection of the huts, the hot showers, and gourmet meals seem like they’d take the adventure out of a backcountry experience. The best part of a backpacking trip is being able to sleep under the stars and in the morning unzip the tent and open your eyes to a gorgeous sunrise.
If people aren’t able or willing to carry a 40 pound backpack, hut to hut hiking seems to be a great alternative. But for now I’ll be sticking to backpacking!
