NEW! The Range of Light is known to die-hard trail runners as the Range of Light and Fast! With your own two legs, a light pack, and a pair of trail shoes you can see more stunning terrain in a few days than backpackers typically see in a week. Our Sierra Fastpacking itineraries make use of porters, transportation shuttles, and lightweight camps to maximize comfort, enjoyment, and recovery.
