Sample Itinerary - Basic 4 day trip
Day 1 - Meet your guide at the trailhead (10 a.m. - Noon). Our guides have the backpacking and camping gear for you to use. We will help you pack up your system and fit your backpack. When everyone is ready to go we hit the trail to our first campsite in the backcountry.
Day 2 & 3 - Wake up in the morning to the smell of coffee brewing and breakfast on its way. After breakfast we start to break camp and pack up for our hike. Along the hike, we stop to take breaks, view wildlife, and have lunch. When we arrive at our campsite guests like to swim in the river if available, relax, play cards, explore the area, do some yoga, or connect with each other. Appetizers, Dinner, and Desserts are created and served to the group. Fall asleep to the sounds of nature or as you are gazing into the sky as you look for the shooting star.
Day 4 - On our last morning we take in all that we can before we go back to the hustle and bustle of the park roads and tourists. Most groups hike a few miles in the morning and arrive back at their car by lunch.
Note: Our average mileage is between 4-7 but desired mileage can be customized for each group.
