This route is considered very challenging with a significant elevation gain of 4,000 feet in the first 8 miles. Once above tree-line, we will witness sweeping views and magnificent openness.

Whether your goal is to challenge yourself, meet new friends, or enjoy the peace of nature, this trip is for you.
Cost: $499, $100 deposit required to register with remained of cost $399 due one month before trip departure.

Participants should be able to carry a 40lbs backpack for up to 8 miles while gaining elevation a day. *Must pass our fitness test of completing two miles with a 40 lb on an inclined treadmill in one hour*
