Route Services & Pricing
Guided Day Hikes
Single-day experiences designed for those wanting expert interpretation without extended backcountry commitment. Routes typically cover 8-15 kilometers, selected for ecological diversity and viewpoint quality rather than distance alone.
Your guide will adjust pace and stops based on group interests, whether that's plant identification, geology, wildlife observation, or simply moving through remarkable terrain with someone who knows it intimately.
Includes route planning consultation, all necessary permits, and group safety equipment. You provide personal gear, food, and transportation to trailhead.

Wilderness Expeditions (3-7 Days)
Extended backcountry journeys that access remote park regions inaccessible via day trips. These routes involve multi-day hiking with overnight camping, covering territories that require sustained travel to reach.
Expedition planning includes pre-trip consultation to assess fitness levels and expectations, detailed gear lists, and resupply coordination for routes exceeding four days. Routes are designed with layover days built in, allowing flexibility for weather or participant energy levels.
Guides handle navigation, campsite selection, wildlife protocol, and emergency response. You're responsible for carrying personal gear and contributing to group camp tasks.
Pricing covers guide services, group camping equipment, permits, and backcountry reservations. Food and personal equipment are participant responsibilities.

Wildlife Observation Routes
Routes timed and positioned around animal behavior patterns, led by guides with naturalist backgrounds. These aren't safaris or guaranteed sighting experiences, but rather thoughtful positioning in habitats where particular species are known to move.
Emphasis on ethical observation distances, understanding animal sign and behavior, and recognizing how human presence affects wildlife patterns. Routes often involve early morning or evening timing to align with peak activity periods.
Suitable for photographers, naturalists, or anyone interested in observing animals within their actual ecological context rather than captive or controlled settings.

Family Trail Adventures
Age-appropriate routes designed for groups including children aged six and older. Distances and elevation gain calibrated to maintain engagement without exhaustion, typically 4-8 kilometers with minimal technical terrain.
Guides experienced with family dynamics help transform what could be a forced march into genuine exploration, using interpretation techniques that work for varied attention spans and interest levels.
Routes selected for built-in interest points: creek crossings, rock formations, animal tracking opportunities, or ecological features that provoke curiosity. Safety protocols adapted for younger participants.

Backcountry Skills Workshops
Practical instruction in wilderness travel competencies: map and compass navigation, campsite selection and low-impact camping, weather assessment, and emergency protocols.
These aren't classroom sessions. Workshops occur in actual backcountry settings where you practice skills in the environments where they matter. Small group sizes ensure individual attention and hands-on learning.
Useful for those planning to transition from guided experiences to independent backcountry travel, or anyone wanting to strengthen existing skills with professional feedback.
