Our trips range from simple day hikes exploring and learning about the flora and fauna, to difficult multi-day backpacking adventures where you can explore nature, learn basic survival skills and see places most people don't even know exist.  And this is all in our backyard of the Pacific NW.  We provide all the equipment and food, or receive a discount for providing your own gear and/or food.  Explore our different trips below or check our calendar for upcoming adventures or contact us for customized or private trips.
