CUSTOM TRIP CONSULTING
Need help planning your dream backpacking trip? Want to tackle a big adventure, but don’t know how to get started? Michelle is here to give you a hand!
Some trips require complex logistics, including booking custom air transportation, finding shuttles to the trailhead, securing trail permits, reading tide charts, evaluating snowpack, food resupplies, satellite communications, and even special wildlife considerations. It can all be a bit overwhelming, and if you have a busy life (don’t we all!) finding the time to do extensive pre-planning can be prohibitive! Michelle is available for custom trip consulting and planning. She can help you through all steps of the process, from advice on getting started, to planning your trip in detail.
There is a $75 hourly rate for custom trip consulting, with meetings via phone, video conferencing, or in-person (Minneapolis area only). Please email Michelle at info@backpackthetrails.com to arrange this custom service.
