Trek Overview

You will backpack through the awe-inspiring alpine meadows and peaks of the Crazies – a mountain range with a deep and storied history. Expect to be constantly inspired by the environment around you! On a Crazy Mountain Ventures trek, you will never spend more than one night in the same place.

At the start of your trek we will teach you the basics, such as choosing a campsite, pitching a tent and cooking your first backcountry meal. Over the 5 days, you will also learn some of the more challenging aspects of backcountry living including wilderness navigation, advanced cooking, basic first aid, and managing group dynamics.

As we hike from camp to camp, your guides will teach you about the mountains with lessons on the geology, plants, animals, and birds that surround us. You will also learn how to use the 7 Leave no Trace to leave a minimal impact on the wilderness.

Each evening we will have a chance to reflect on the day. As a team, we will discuss what we did well and what we could improve for tomorrow. You will learn to give and receive feedback with your team in a productive manner.

By the end of this Trek you will be able to backpack with grace and style. You will have learned the skills necessary to be a valuable member of any team – at home, school, or in the woods.

Walk out of the mountains with the foundational leadership and outdoor skills to pursue a lifetime of adventure!
