High Adventure
Yellowstone
native and veteran wilderness trekker Nathan Varley,
PhD, leads this fantastic hiking adventure
to Yellowstone's backcountry. This is a supported Basecamp
where you carry less! This active adventure
asks that participants carry only their own personal safety gear (includes
sleeping bag, pad, and clothing) over rough trails
5-10 miles per day. Our basecamp features great backcountry meals, roomy tents, and
fine optical equipment. Our meals surpass the usual backpacker
fare-- meeting high energy needs while remaining healthy, fresh, and
delicious. Join us for what promises to be an unforgettable
adventure to some of Yellowstone's premier wilderness and wildlife
habitat! |
