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.
I loved the entire experience! I hope to go on additional trips in the future! – Cindy S.
We learned a lot of new information about how to prepare ourselves for backpacking. It was great to be able to rent some equipment and try it out before making the investment in backpacking equipment. I also loved that you tailored the information to what folks wanted to know. Wonderful experience overall! – Kari M.
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.
