Explore with Us

Our goal is to get you outside. Preferably as a well-prepared, confident and competent adventurer. To that end, we offer opportunities in four categories:

Trail guides, books, tutorials

We love when you feel confident enough to strike out on your own, whether it’s for a 2-mile hike on a local trail or thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail (a graduate of our first Intro to Backpacking class actually went on to hike the AT, in 2015). To help you in this regard we offer:

Downloadable PDF tutorials on everything from how to cross a mountain stream to hiking in the dark and more. 

Downloadable PFD guides to local trails, including all the information you need to hike the trail on your own.
