Communication was great.Holly G.

Great presentations. I liked experiences we all could relate too. Shelly P.

I highly recommend Outdoor Adventure Connection to anyone considering a backpacking trip. This program teaches you all the fundamentals required to not only be safe, but also have fun and feel comfortable backpacking without a guide. Thanks so much!Dirk W.

The trip and workshops were fantastic. I wouldn't change anything.Normajean R.

I can't pick any one thing I liked "best". I thought the whole trip was great. You have done an outstanding job on the other trips I've been on with you and you did so again on this one. First rate all the way.Jack L.

I loved the freedom to explore and then time to chill at the evening campfires.Shelly P.
