Enjoy 5 days of early fall hiking from our backcountry camp at Circus Creek – the best of adventure and comfort.  Circus Creek is the perfect jumping off point for unforgettable day hikes exploring high mountain meadows, rugged limestone passes, and hidden grottos. Also, 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.

During our daily outings, you are encouraged to open and sharpen your senses to the living world.  Time in the spaciousness of big wild country can help reorient us all to the natural realities and clarify what we know to be true.

If you are looking for a deeper understanding of place, emersion in fall colors, basecamp comforts, and the expertise of a local naturalist, then this is the trip for you.
