Summer Hiking Events
Summer has officially arrived in the High Country!
Whether you’re a local or just visiting the area, our hiking events offer community and adventure. Pint nights are free, providing a great opportunity to meet new people and learn new skills. Our day hikes let you explore our beautiful scenery while simultaneously putting new skills into practice. Backpacking overnights immerse you in nature, offering unparalleled serenity and a sense of surrender.
Don’t have the gear? We provide it. Nervous about getting started? You’re in good hands with us, and we’ll guide you through everything you need to know. Already experienced in the backcountry and wondering if we have anything to offer you? From plant identification and forest bathing to search and rescue, our guides are trained in a variety of skills, ensuring you’ll learn something new and create unforgettable memories.
