The whole family, in the wild

A little discomfort. A lot of fun.

The llamas carry the heavy gear so everyone can enjoy the walk in. At the lake, kids and parents learn side by side: fire without a lighter, fly fishing for rainbow and cutthroat trout, a bow and arrow, knots, and what a good axe and multitool can do.

One day is a big hike to four mountain lakes, over boulders, through brush and across creeks, at a pace that works for your family.
