It was a great fall hike with great weather and great people to hike with and share the weekend. I learned lots this weekend.Bob M.

The trip was awesome. I honestly have nothing to say that could be improved. Great company, workshops and positive atmosphere!Paula H.

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.

We both learned a lot. Being new I am not sure what would make it better. The hiking itself was my favorite.Minette S.

Very well organized! I liked how the team worked together to share their knowledge and experience with all of us. I liked how the guides were patient when we asked questions and the overall wonderful camaraderie of the group and relaxed atmosphere throughout the weekend. Overall experience was great!Helen M.

I honestly feel the retreat was perfect. The attention to detail was amazing! Each activity was perfectly planned. I will recommend this if available in the future to everyone I know and will attend myself as well.Sherry L.

I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to share this adventure with.Jackie C.

The course, workshops, guides and time spent was excellent and I hope to do other courses in the future.Joe V.

I enjoyed meeting new people and conversing with them.Ned P.

The trip was very helpful to me as a beginner.Naomi J.

I loved everything! Change nothing! Continue providing an excellent experience!Julio S.

I enjoyed everything.Carol A.

Aside from spending all that time in the beautiful outdoors, I liked the workshops the best. Tama and Andy flawlessly conveyed years' worth of backpacking/camping knowledge to us in an understandable and entertaining way.Lucy W.

Even though it was cold and windy, it was a good trip and I'm glad I went. The workshops were interesting and educational.Robin Y.

The hands-on workshops with water filters and fire building were especially helpful to me. There was much value in having a guide with Yvonne's vast experience to talk to women about backpacking safety and other issues from a female perspective. Laurie J.

The entire experience could not have been better. I will cherish the memory of our laughs and the breathtaking views for years to come.Matt P.

I loved the trip and enjoyed it thoroughly! I was anxious before the trip because I wasn't sure if I brought the right items but Andy made me feel confident in my pack right by reviewing its contents and telling my why I needed/didn't need certain items.Ashley V.

It was fun, exciting, challenging, informative and the guides were the best.Bettina H.
