Trip Overview

Explore some of the most jaw-dropping landscapes as you travel through the great states of Washington, Oregon, and Montana on this 35-day adventure! Experience the wilderness through a variety of incredible activities like backpacking, whitewater rafting, mountaineering, and surfing.

Begin your journey with a 4-day backpacking trip in Oregon’s remote Eagle Cap Wilderness, where you’ll traverse alpine meadows, climb rugged trails, and camp beneath starry skies. Next, head to Missoula for an immersive 4-day whitewater raft guide school, where you’ll develop essential whitewater skills and gain confidence navigating rapids. From there, gear up for 5 days of backpacking in Washington’s breathtaking North Cascades, climbing mountain passes, honing your backcountry camping skills, and soaking in vast alpine views.

Your adventure continues with a 4-day mountaineering expedition on Mt. Baker, where you’ll work with Rainier Mountain Guides to attempt the summit of its stunning glaciated peak. After tackling the Cascades, travel to the Olympic Peninsula for a 4-day backpacking trip along the rugged Olympic Coast, exploring tidepools, sea stacks, and wild beaches.

Wrap up your trip on the Oregon Coast, where you’ll learn to surf and perfect your skills on the waves before celebrating this life-changing five-week journey at a final banquet. From lush rainforests and soaring volcanoes to wild rivers and stunning coastlines, this unforgettable adventure will build your skills and connect you to the spectacular beauty of the Pacific Northwest!
