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.

I loved how easy this event was for me. I didn't have to think about anything other than showing up. I loved every activity and honestly can't think of anything to change. I can't wait to do another one in the future. – Melissa L.
The entire trip from start to finish exceeded my expectations. Even though we had rain during portions of the adventure, that didn't change a thing! May even made the trip a bit more challenging. Do not change a thing, all breakout sessions were great. – Doug L.
Andy shared his knowledge and led in a very polite and professional way throughout the trip. He went above and beyond to see all participants were safe, learning and enjoying the trip. The materials provided were extremely useful. Am not certain anything should be changed however I would like to be able to attend again, perhaps enjoying a longer hike. – Diana B.
I enjoyed meeting new people and conversing with them. – Ned P.
