Description

Enjoy 5 days of early fall hiking on this point-to-point route. It includes a few nights at our backcountry Circus Creek camp and a few night up high in a picturesque alpine basin. Early September is one of our favorite time in the mountains with the crisp nights, cool days, and vibrant colors.

The trip is lead by naturalist and guide Eric Bergman, who offers a knowledge and local expertise that helps build familiarity and intimacy with place and ecological systems.  With a casual, unscripted approach, we will discuss flora, fauna, and process, with an inclination toward what happens between living organisms and their environment.

If you are looking for a deeper understanding of place, emersion in fall colors, an off-the-beaten path route, and the expertise of a local naturalist, then this is the trip for you.

Trip Rating Definitions


 

Moderate

  • 6 – 10 mile travel days with some of those days requiring changes in elevation of 500 – 1500 ft. over several miles. Short portions of route may be off-trail.


Moderately Difficult

  • 8 – 12+ mile travel days with regular change in elevation totaling 2,500 feet, or more, over several miles. Off-trail hiking and routing finding with short portions of limited exposure possible.


Strenuous

  • 7 – 12+ mile travel days with regular changes in elevation over a few miles. Frequent off-trail hiking over uneven terrain with areas of exposure and route finding may be involved.


*Please note these descriptions are used for travel days only and are our attempt to provide a rating for the overall trip difficulty. On layover days we will offer optional hiking opportunities that may not be in keeping with the rest of the trip difficulty rating.


Additionally, changes in elevation are meant to represent the days’ starting and ending elevations, but not necessarily the total elevation lost and gained throughout the course of the day. If you have questions or concerns regarding trip difficulty and your abilities, please contact us.
