"I'd never camped past a parking lot. By night two on Larch Pass I was watching alpenglow with seven new friends and a guide who clearly loved every metre of it. Best week of my year."
Priya N. — Larch Pass Traverse, 2024

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Not for our Easy and Moderate routes — those are designed for keen first-timers with a reasonable level of fitness. Challenging trips like Razorback Ridgeline assume you're comfortable with multi-day hiking and exposure. Every listing states this clearly, and we'll always be straight with you.

We provide the group kit — tents, stoves, cooking gear, and navigation. You bring personal items: boots, a pack, sleeping bag, layers, and clothing. After you book, we send a detailed, route-specific packing list so nothing's a guess.

Eight hikers maximum, often fewer. Our most demanding routes cap at six. You'll always have at least one guide for every four people, so the experience stays personal and safe.

Your deposit is fully refundable, and you can change dates for free up to 30 days before departure. If weather forces us to cancel a trip, you'll get a full refund or a free reschedule — no questions asked.

Absolutely. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and most allergies are easily handled — just flag it when you book and our guides will plan trail meals around you.
