Expedition in the Backcountry

Searching for authenticity? Why not explore the backcountry of our national parks? This is an exceptional privilege enabling you to access untamed areas without reception facilities or services. You’ll be able to break out of your comfort zone while showing the upmost respect for the natural environment. Completing such an expedition independently and harmoniously requires specific physical skills and abilities. You’ll have to be thoroughly prepared, regardless of how long you intend to be off the radar.
