Perfect for all skill levels, our Backpacking and Youth Excursions take you deep into some of the Adirondack Mountains’ most breathtaking wilderness. Depending on the type of trip you choose, we may cover more than 10 miles a day while exploring the diverse backcountry—or we might hike in and set up camp for a more relaxed, extended stay in a scenic, secluded spot..
Each night ends around the campfire, where you’ll unwind with good company and the calming sounds of nature all around you.
On these adventures, you and your group will carry everything needed in your backpacks. Pack weight and size vary based on trip duration, season, location, and your personal height, weight, and fitness level.
We supply nearly all the gear: top-quality backpacks, tents, sleeping bags and pads, cooking equipment, and bear canisters. You just bring your clothing, footwear, rain gear, and personal items. All meals—from lunch on day one to lunch on the final day—are included, and your guide will be there to help with meal prep every step of the way.
