P.C.T. BACKPACK 15-MILE FOOTPRINT 

Requirements:

2. Comply with articles 1 & 2 of the Pacific Crest Trail Backpacking Award. 

3. Each person, as part of a group project, perform 2 hours of conservation work to improve the trail, campsite or general area during or within 6 months of the backpack. NOTE: Clean-up qualifies for the 15-mile Footprint only.

Example: A backpack of 30 miles/15 hours scheduled backpack time in 3 consecutive days would qualify for 2 each 15-Mile Footprints.
