Experience the thrill of a guided backpacking expedition, embarking on a remarkable journey from Cline River to the enchanting Lake of the Falls and the beautiful Landslide Lake. Join our knowledgeable guide (or 2!) and a lively group of fellow adventurers on this intermediate backpacking adventure, carefully tailored to accommodate beginner backpackers. If you're uncertain about your readiness, don't hesitate to inquire.
This expedition is ideally suited for individuals with an intermediate hiking skill level. We anticipate that participants should be capable of walking 10-20 kilometers each day for a continuous span of four days. If you're new to backpacking, we strongly recommend considering a beginner-level trip beforehand.
Our intimate group size ensures ample opportunities for one-on-one assistance from our expert guide, creating a supportive and educational environment. Be prepared for a truly rustic experience, as our camping locations lack modern facilities and any form of cell service. These remote backcountry destinations offer some of the most breathtaking lakes and awe-inspiring natural landscapes, promising an unforgettable adventure.
