How to choose the right destination?

> Utah

If you’re looking for an outdoor adventure that will take your breath away, look no further than a guided hiking tour in Utah. Our Utah tours are great for guests who crave the open desert landscape.

This state is truly a hiker’s paradise, boasting some of the most unique and spectacular landscapes in the country. From the red rock formations, spires, deep canyons of Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, and Canyonlands National Park, to the water-carved cliffs of Capitol Reef National Park and the multicolored cliffs of Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, every step on the trail will leave you in awe.

> Wyoming

Wyoming is a hikers paradise boasting some of the most unique and spectacular landscapes in the country. Our Wyoming tours are ideal for guests who’ve had Yellowstone and Grand Teton on their bucket-list for awhile. A trip to Wyoming is almost guaranteed to see wildlife.

From the geysers and hot springs of the iconic Yellowstone National Park, to the majestic peaks and valleys of the breathtaking Grand Teton National Park, every step on the trail is east on the eyes. Yellowstone offers a diverse array of experiences, from the Old Faithful geyser to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the colorful hot springs. Grand Teton, on the other hand, offers some of the most iconic views of the Teton Range, with the park’s high peaks visible from almost every trail.

> California

Booking a guided hiking tour to California is an excellent way to experience the natural beauty of the state. Want to step on the same trails as John Muir? Want to see where Alex Honnold climbed Half Dome and El Capitan free solo? Our California hiking tours are perfect for those wanting bigger hikes in Yosemite and well deserved rest towards the end of their tour in Lake Tahoe before it ends back in Reno.

Two of the most popular destinations for hiking in California are Yosemite and Lake Tahoe. Yosemite offers hikers the opportunity to experience the breathtaking granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and diverse array of flora and fauna that make it one of the most iconic national parks in the United States. The park offers a wide range of hiking trails, from easy strolls to challenging treks, making it a great destination for hikers of all skill levels. Lake Tahoe, on the other hand, offers a completely different experience, with its crystal-clear waters, towering peaks, and dense forests. The area around the lake is home to some of the best hiking trails in the state, offering spectacular views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. A guided tour can help you make the most of your hiking experience by providing expert guidance, safety tips, and insider knowledge about the best trails and sights to see.

Should I select a camping or lodging tour?

The decision between a guided camping trip and a lodging trip ultimately depends on the type of experience you are looking for.

Guided camping trips offer a unique opportunity to connect with nature and experience the great outdoors in a more hands-on approach. You will be led by experienced guides who can cook, prepare bonfires, and get you set up at camp. We provide you with all the necessary gear and equipment so you can leave yours at home. This type of trip is perfect for those who want to explore and discover new places but also have their meals completely covered for a more affordable experience.

On the other hand, lodging trips typically provide a more comfortable and luxurious experience. Instead of camping in the wilderness, you will be staying in a lodge or glamping tent. You will be led by expert guides who prepare you fresh picnic lunches, take you to fantastic restaurants and more.  This type of trip is ideal for those who want to relax and unwind, and who want to enjoy the amenities of a more upscale experience, such as private bathrooms, air conditioning, and other modern amenities.

Ultimately, you can’t go wrong with either, both trip styles are very rewarding and fun in their own unique way. Regardless of what trip you decide to book, our guides are always here to guide you throughout the experience.
