The Backpacking Club at UCLA
We take you to the outdoors.
TUBC runs trips every quarter — day hikes in the Santa Monicas, car camps at Joshua Tree, multi-day Sierra crossings. Free to join. No experience required.
Who we are
UCLA's home for the outdoors
TUBC has been taking Bruins into the backcountry for over a decade. From day hikes to weekend car camps to multi-day Sierra crossings, we run trips for every experience level and budget.
We also host gear workshops, Leave No Trace clinics, and social events so you can learn the ropes and meet people who care about the same places you do.

You don't need gear. You don't need experience.
Most of our members went on their first backpacking trip with TUBC. All you need is a UCLA email and a free weekend. We handle the rest.
