OUTSTANDING trip and experience! I didn't know a thing about backpacking before this trip and by the time we got back to our cars on the last day, I no longer felt like a novice! I feel very comfortable going backpacking again without my wonderful guides now and actually am planning on going on a solo trip soon. – Ashley O.
Amazing program, amazing experience! I will definitely backpack with OAC again – Ellen S.

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip! The workshops were extremely helpful when considering planning a trip on my own. I loved having only women on the trip. Nothing against men but a trip with only women has a completely different energy and it was wonderful. – Terry C.

I think it was great to have a woman as one of the instructors, its a great inspiration to hear from an accomplished and confident woman. – Terry C.
I liked the different demonstrations on equipment such as the stoves, water filtration, and hygiene for females. This is a great workshop for beginners and I can't think of anything that would make it better. You have done a great job and you have awesome guides! Thank you for a great experience! – Erika O.
Great cost savings for non local attendees. – Ron B.

I had the best experience. I thought everything was amazing. – Emily W.

Very well organized trip with workshops. Andy, you are amazing! – Kris S.
