Our Mission
We believe that backpacking can change lives. At Backpack the Trails, we enable our clients to experience life on the trail, build self-confidence and resilience, and gain a passion for the outdoors by providing hands-on instruction in backpacking and wilderness skills.
Let Us Do The Planning.
Planning a wilderness trip can be daunting, with the extensive preparation and lots of gear required. We make learning easy and fun, allowing you to explore your limits and grow your confidence in a supportive, low-stress environment.
We provide high-end, lightweight backpacking gear, all trip logistics, and delicious, lightweight food while on the trail. We also guarantee lasting memories, by providing an electronic photo album of your adventure.
"The best teachers are passionate about their topics and Michelle’s love for the outdoors is contagious."
— Dario Bilardello, University Research Scientist
