Overview

A backpacking trip differs significantly from a normal camping or hiking excursion in that it involves hiking away from roads, trailheads, parking lots…etc. with everything we need on our backs.

The days are full with simple yet stunningly fulfilling activities: hiking, fishing, ascending canyons, swimming, eating, resting, appreciating where we are, connecting with fellow travelers. The joys of backpacking are not easily conveyed in words – ultimately, the only way to truly understand it is to experience it yourself.

With no other overnight guides operating in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona, this is your unique opportunity to access nature away from the crowds among breathtakingly gorgeous scenery.

Never backpacked before?

We have you covered with gear and a list of items for you to bring, so you are assured a comfortable journey.

Additionally, your guide is a Wilderness First Responder (WFR), trained to provide emergency care in remote environments.

What to expect

Connect yourself with nature through a 4-day / 3-night guided backpacking adventure in the White Mountain of eastern Arizona.

From the trailhead, we'll trek 2-6 miles to camp where we'll stay for the duration of our trip. Please note there will be several stream crossings throughout the hike and will need to be prepared with the appropriate footwear.

We outfit you with everything you need to be successful in the backcountry. Guests only need to worry about clothing, rain gear, and personal items. All the gear we provide (backpack, sleeping bag, tent, sleeping pad, cooking gear, etc.) is top-of-the-line. You may request to share a tent with others in your party or have one to yourself. Breakfast and dinner are included and your guide will help prepare all meals. Pack weights vary between 25 and 35 pounds, depending on the trip specifics.
