Our Services
- Hiking: Discover the state and our great parks with our expert guides who will lead you from trailhead to destination traversing some of the most beautiful landscapes you'll ever see. If you're looking for an easy introduction to hiking or a challenging trek to "bag" peaks for a patch challenge, we will work with you to customize a hike to your needs.
- Camping: Escape your daily life and reconnect with nature through camping. Whether it is car camping with daily excursions into the woods, or backpacking miles into the backcountry, we are able to meet your needs.
- Education: We believe in teaching you the skills you need to both be a competent hiker or camper and also to be a good steward of the wilderness. We offer training on the trail and in camp along with stand alone classes upon request.
Our Philosophy
Our first commitment is always to safety. We do all we can to minimize any risk throughout the trip. This may mean we have to re-route, do a different hike, or go at a later date due to the weather and conditions on the trail.
Our second commitment is education. We want everyone to grow in their abilities while in the woods. This can be teaching map and compass, bushwacking, the correct and safe use of specialized gear, Leave No Trace, or other skills as requested.
Our final commitment is to fun. We want you to enjoy yourself throughout the trip and will do all we can to make sure you do.
