I loved all aspects of the trip, well....except that 28lb pack was not so pleasant the first hour, but after some adjustments by the guides, it wasn't difficult. I did not want the weekend to end! All the guides were so helpful, friendly, and full of information from their own various personal experiences. I will definitely do this again! – Bridget M.

Loved it all!! – Mary U.
I really liked the planning that was evident on this trip. No one can predict the weather - and we certainly experienced 3 of the 4 seasons - but there were plans in place to deal with whatever mother nature threw at us. – Linda M.
This was a great workshop. – Eira. T.
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.
