This is my SECOND trip and this time, conditions were extremely challenging with so much rain!! But, I learned a whole lot about how to backpack in less than stellar conditions!! That's a great thing!!! – Gina B.
Just wanted to let you know what a spectacular weekend we had. I could not have been happier signing up for this trip. For a while, I've been wanting to do more backpacking, but just now brave enough or confident enough to venture out on my own. – Nancy B.
I loved the caving and rappelling- really physically and mentally challenging ourselves. Kristy is such a calm moderator and speaker creating a trusting environment where we felt so accepted for who we are. This enabled everyone to share without fear or embarrassment of showing our emotions. I loved all the various activities with yoga in the mix to relax the body and mind. – Mary U.
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.
