How Our Trips Are Structured
Every trip follows this general rhythm — see each trip page for the full day-by-day itinerary.
1
Trailhead to Camp (6-8 miles)
Meet your guide, pack check, and hit the trail. We hike at a relaxed pace, break often, and arrive at camp by late afternoon. Set up tents, explore nearby views, dinner, and a campfire chat under the stars.
2
Exploration Day
A lighter pack day. We explore side trails, swim if conditions allow, take photos, and move camp or return to the same site depending on the route. Dinner and stories as the sun goes down.
3
Hike Out (6-8 miles)
Breakfast, break camp, and hike back to the trailhead by early afternoon. High‑fives, muddy boots, and a new appreciation for carrying everything you need on your back.
