Absolutely one of the best times I have had in a long time!Cleo W.

Just wanted to let you know what a spectacular weekend we had. I could not have been happier signing up for this trip. For a while, I've been wanting to do more backpacking, but just now brave enough or confident enough to venture out on my own. Nancy B.

This workshop was very well planned with a vast range of knowledge from all the guides. I really enjoyed myself!Jackie C.

The whole experience was great: very friendly and knowledgeable leaders, great group of women, and wonderful views!Robin T.

I'm now an experienced backpacker thanks to Outdoor Adventure Connection. Their workshops, presentations, backpack trips, and hikes have turned an interest in the outdoors into a passion. Andy is a natural at educating and promoting. He knows how to teach; he knows how to encourage; he knows when to challenge; he has a knack for connecting with people. He's creative, energetic, and a master at organization.Karen C.
