What a great weekend! Great seeing everyone. Absolutely wonderful company! – Jenny W.
I loved the rappelling and the yoga in the cave, and of course, I always love hiking. The food was excellent, Linda and Kristy did a great job preparing it. The cabins were great, loved having the wood burning fireplace, and there was plenty of space for 4 people. The employees at the resort, from the restaurant to the guides, were all so nice. – Name Withheld
Typical well planned trip by Andy. Fun had by all! – Scott B.
I loved EVERYTHING... truly! All of the events/activities were fantastic. I loved having everything planned out and organized. Don't change anything! – Rachel H.
The trip was wonderful and inspiring. My favorite part was crossing the river. I can not think of any changes needed. It was also nice to meet others interested in backpacking. It was impressive how hard the guides worked to assist us setting up camp on a rainy day and then cooking so many different foods for us to try. I will book another trip! – Sally D.
This was a wonderful experience that increased my confidence not only in my ability to backpack but in myself in general. There is nothing I would change. – Jackie B.
Perfect distance each day, Andy flexible when appropriate. Awesome section of trail - good mix of scenery. Cool hostel - good experience. Loved the documents to read through. Andy truly taught us vs. just doing for us. Overall great experience! – Toni M.
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.
