Backpacking Experience

Hikers

Your child will be backpacking in some of the most pristine and beautiful natural areas in the Pacific Northwest. We vary our expedition locations with each season. In the spring and fall, we hike in the rolling hills of southeastern Oregon's high desert country, which is rich in sagebrush and juniper. In winter, we snowshoe on deep snow in wilderness lake country along the crest of the Cascade Mountains, where there is good shelter. During the summer, we hike in beautiful but little used mountain wilderness areas where the terrain is rugged enough to provide a challenging environment. Some of our spring and fall trips include river rafting and backpacking.
