We start off in base camp for a day to cover the basics and pre-trip planning. The next day our backcountry trip starts. For three days we put those skills to practical use, in addition to going into further depth in an experiential learning environment. Our highly skilled instructors cover backcountry travel and navigation, wilderness ethics and Leave No Trace Awareness workshops, backcountry health and hygiene, backcountry cooking, an introduction to expedition behavior, and risk management. While in the backcountry we take it easy, covering around 5 miles a day, and focus extensively on teachable moments. We recommend this trip for any group with limited backcountry experience or as a training program to get in touch with the current wilderness practices.
Group sizes are limited to help lessen environmental impacts and other logistic concerns. Trek group size is a minimum of 7 and a maximum of 10.
