Welcome to backpacking with Frassati YA!! We believe young Catholics belong together to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ by fellowship, prayer, and devotion to truth. What better way to live this by going with Fr. Chrysostom on a two-day backing trip to one of the most beautiful lakes within short driving distance from Seattle?! Goat lake is only a 5 miles hike in, offers spectacular scenery, and there is even a toilet at the lake! :D
Date: August 27-28. 7:30 am departure Saturday morning, returning Sunday around 3pm to Newman. Max group size: 12 (registration is "first come"). Ages 19-35 only.
Trip includes...
- Depart 7:30am from Newman (2.5 hr drive).
- 5.2 mile hike to the lake, 1400 fr elevation gain (note that this is not for absolute beginners. 1400 ft with 30lbs on your back is very different than 1400ft on a regular hike).
- Will include chanting Morning Prayer/Evening prayer, Mass, and even 30 min of Adoration.
- We have some extra gear to share, but try to borrow from people you know first before asking.
- Cost: TBD, but expect to pitch in roughly about $30 for food & gas.
- Planned meals: (indicate on the last question if you want to opt out). Breakfast: Oatmeal, Starbucks instant coffee. Lunch: assortment of trail mix, cliff bars, dried fruit, jerky. Dinner: Dehydrated pre-made meals (Mountain house or something similar). You may bring your own alcohol if desired.
