One of the many things that makes Christikon special is the fact that ALL of our backpacking and hiking routes depart directly from our camp property. We send backpacking groups on a variety of clockwise/ counter-clockwise routes from Camp, all of which feature unique streams, lakes and mountain peaks. We are truly lucky. Below you will find resources on those routes. This section is a work in progress as we acquire more and more accurate information. It is provided here for your research and curiosity! We cannot claim any of this is 100% accurate, and of course each trip is slightly different in where groups stop, camp, and how they pace. The images are for reference as well, and mileage increases with trips as you stop for water, camp off the trail, etc.
