3-Day Guided Backpack
Trip
Year-round

|
So many trails, so little time. That's why we offer this longer trip to pack more of them in. We'll take you into the heart of the White Mountains or the Great North Woods--a different trail every month. Summer and Fall climbs will bring you above treeline. Winter and Spring treks will be in low-lying remote areas with great scenery and points of interest. Remote overnight accommodations vary and will depend on interests, the weather, and pace of the group. Weather is unpredictable here, so we provide a very serious pack list and will inspect your gear before starting out. You'll receive directions to meet your guide. Included on the hike: survival tips, camping equipment, 7 meals, snowshoes or ice grippers if needed, natural history talks, and wildlife viewing and photo opportunities.
