Have you ever wanted to backpack and cover some serious distance?  Why didn't you?  Was it inexperience?  Was it your confidence?  Did you get lost in the planning?  If so, than this trip is perfect for you!

This trip is designed to give you the skills and confidence to plan and execute long or short backpacking trips. Our goal is to cover 32 miles of the PCT in 4 days and 3 nights. On the first day we'll meet at our office in Troutdale, OR and review what and how to pack, as well as prep some homemade backpacking meals.  Afterwards, we'll travel to the trailhead to begin our hike near Mt. Hood at Little Crater Lake and head south into the mountains. We'll cover between 8-12 miles each day, which will be decided through group consensus and pace.  Our final day will end near Breitenbush Lake, with an optional trip to the hot springs to soak and celebrate our accomplishment!
We will cover:
Using a map and guidebook to plan logistics, daily distance, etc.
Finding and setting up camp
Acquiring and purifying water
Cooking meals and the use of different types of stoves
Basic trail first aid
Using a compass

​I had a great experience with Rare Earth Adventures. I signed up a few days before the trek and even thought I didn't have much time to prepare, Travis helped me and answered every question in a very timely manner. Lauren my guide was great and I had the best time. I highly recommend this company and plan to use them again in the future. Hopefully very soon.
Trip includes: transportation to and from the trailhead, permits, meals, tents, group gear (stoves, fuel water purification methods, etc).
Clients will provide: Sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and backpack.  REA has a limited supply available for loan.
