Criteria & Pricing

This Adventure is open to many levels of fitness as most hikes can be shortened and E-bikes can be rented.

However, please note that a well-rounded level of fitness is still required. We will be in the safety of well-marked trails in a National Park with shorter options for each hike. I cannot be with each hiker at all times. You must feel confident to do a hike solo if your aspirations for distance and elevation gain don’t match what the majority of the group are choosing. Every participant needs to have All-Trails downloaded prior to our days Adventure.

If you have a fear of heights, small-confined spaces, narrow cliffs, walking (or falling) in water, or pedaling a bike…..talk to my Adventurers from last year! Almost every single one of these fears were overcome!

A minimum of 8 spots must be filled by NOVEMBER 1st for this Adventure to take place.

All lodging will be 4 participants per room! If you do not sign up with a buddy, I will make bunk assignments prior to arrival. We are barely in our rooms as it is! If you would like your own bed or own room, let me know and I will give you the price difference, as it will be several hundred more.

A $250 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is due at the time of booking. Half of the remaining balance will be due FEB 1st. The final portion of the balance will be due MARCH 1st.
