Sierra Designs High Route 1 Backpacking Tent

The brainchild of renowned backcountry adventurer Andrew Skurka, the Sierra Designs High Route 1 solo shelter offers livability, durability, and versatility for extended 3-season use. Pitched with trekking poles (not included), the tent saves weight and minimizes packed size.

The shelter consists of a 20D nylon ripstop rainfly and an inner tent body constructed of 15D nylon, no-see-um mesh, and a 20D nylon ripstop floor. Both the fly and the floor have PE treatments that ensure full weather protection. The inner tent measures 87” x 27.5” and provides 16.6 square feet of space. The fly creates ample protected exterior storage for packs, boots, and other gear. Minimalist backpacker can pitch the rainfly like a floorless tarp and enjoy 29.8 square feet of interior space and shave weight from 1 pound, 11 ounces to just a single pound!

NOTE: The High Route 1 is not freestanding and does require trekking poles. Integrated guyout points and obvious pole placement points make pitching the tent surprisingly easy with a little practice. An offset design allows easy entry to the interior of the shelter which isn’t always the case with trekking pole-pitched tents. Lighweight aluminum stakes are included to ensure a secure, taut pitch.
