Trek Overview

We will begin our Trek with the basics, like choosing a campsite, pitching a tent, and cooking your first backcountry meal. Your guides will explain, demonstrate, and coach you through every aspect of backcountry living.

While out on trail you will take in the beautiful views and pass the time with trail stories, games,  jokes, and riddles. During breaks you will learn the geology, plants, and animals that surround you.

In the evening we will cook, do dishes, and then have a chance to reflect as a team. Your guides will share stories and ask thought provoking questions. We will discuss how our team is performing, and how we can improve.
You will complete your trek tired, but with the skills and excitement to be ready - the next time the mountains call!
