Wilderness Pack Trips

wilderness pack trips

For the more experienced there is an overnight spot pack trip in which you travel to a campsite and stay overnight before returning to the lodge the next day. For those that are into the outdoor experience and want to take a longer trip, there is the continuous pack trip in which you may take small side trips or move your campsite as needed. Often for these trips, you will be charged by the day.

For the more experienced outdoor individual, it will be enjoyable to take a tour that allows you to control your destination. However, if you aren’t that experienced with pack trips you can still have a wonderful experience by hiring a guided tour.

The third day we will load up again and either mosey on to our next campsite or back home, depending on the length of your trip.
