- Trip rating system: Our dayhikes, backpacking and flatwater trips are rated using a <distance-pace-elevation> system. Thus, a trip rated 11-M-48 is a 11 mile round trip, medium pace (2-3 miles per hour), with a total elevation change of 4800 feet. For a more detailed explanation of this system, ask an outings leader, or go to Ratings.
