Backpacker Travel
True wilderness. Epic exploration. Deep backcountry. Cultural immersion. We’ve scoured the earth for hidden gems and in 2019 we are inviting you to join us on one these five exclusive trips. Let's explore the trails less traveled, together.
Alaska: Deep Backcountry
Let’s get wild in Alaska. This backcountry expedition reaches rarely seen, truly deep corners of some of Alaska's wildest national parks, where we'll literally blaze new trails.
Peru: Cordillera Huayhuash
Get ready for true Andean adventure – a backcountry hike in Peru's Huayhuash, famed for some of the Western Hemisphere’s best, and most remote, alpine treks.
Bhutan: Highlander Trek
Go deep into the Himalayas and experience some of the most beautiful and ageless parts of our planet -- plus a one-of-a-kind highlander festival where you may meet Bhutan’s king himself.
The Reason
We believe our greatest adventure always lies ahead. And so we search the most beautiful corners of Earth. We share what we find, and encourage everyone to spend more time outdoors and to discover the unforgettable joys and lessons only true backcountry can offer. Join us to blaze the trails less traveled in every corner of the world, and to be stewards of the lands we travel through and of the trails we take.
