Summer Backpacking Programs
Two-week-long trips in the Trinity Alps and Russian Wilderness
Ages 12-17.     Length 4-7 miles/day.     Cost $2,000.​

Join us for an unforgettable 15-day adventure into the Northern California wilderness! Hikes begin at Carter Meadows Summit in the Klamath National Forest, where access to the Pacific Crest Trail provides an ideal entry into the area's pristine high-altitude lakes, unique limestone pinnacles and caves, and rich conifer forests, home to a number of endemic species. Trips in these unique wilderness areas with our experienced guides encourage participants to challenge themselves, build long lasting friendships, and create connections with the outdoors that will help them gain a stronger sense of self and a better understanding of the world they live in. For 16-17 year olds we are also offering a wilderness leadership training (CIT) program designed to increase leadership and outdoor living skills. Dates and more details here.
