Last year, seven lucky readers were sent on assignment to report on lifelist locations like Glacier and Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Parks and unknown gems like Quebec’s Parc National de la Gaspesie and Wyoming’s Gros Ventre Wilderness. Their stories and photos appeared in our 2012 Readers’ Choice issue. Fill out this application for your chance to hit the trail as a Backpacker field scout. We’ll contact the best entrants in May 2012.

READERS COMMENTS
The official contest rules state that we must submit a 300 (max) word essay on why I should be picked to be the reader leader, but the online submission form has space for two different essays (trail/route proposal & sell yourself)...is it 150 words each, or 300 words each?
What is the deadline for Reader Leader?
Thanks!
I found the application on the Backpacker Mag. Facebook page. I learned to backpack in the Gros Ventre, but submitted my dream for my beloved Absaroka Range. Great luck to everyone!
Is GPS experience a requirement? Preferred?
How old do you have to be to enter.

The entry form is up and running now. Sorry for the confusion. Please refresh/restart your browser if you still don't see it.
Where is the application? Help! I need to apply for this, but there's no link to an application form!
When will this be up again for people to sign up? Please notify me ASAP. blueyesnangel@yahoo.com http://www.examiner.com/appalachian-trail-hiking-in-national/merlyn-seeley
Why can't I apply to be a reader leader? I am sad.
