Rough it for a few days, then ask us how to match it with a luxury vacation!

Hike beside a cascading mountain stream and through towering forests of hemlock and fir in our Olympic National Forest and North Cascade Mountains. Witness the enticing glimpses of dramatic peaks reaching above the timberline as you make your way through the diverse terrain. Leaving the smell of sweet, musky earth and evergreens of the deep forest you suddenly step into the presence of an enchanting alpine meadow. The serenity of the landscape with its brilliant splashes of wildflowers showered throughout is dominated by the massive peaks of rock and ice. If that’s not enough, don’t be surprised if you happen across a grazing herd of elk or the occasional black bear foraging through the wild mountain blueberries.

The Olympics or the North Cascade Mountains are both areas not to be missed! Customize your Backpacking experience with us too.
