overnight hike

Sleep-outside trek

An overnight hike is a hiking trip that includes camping, typically lasting one or two nights on the trail.

The term distinguishes longer excursions requiring gear for sleeping and cooking from day hikes, which return before nightfall: We packed light for the overnight hike to the summit.
