We're not wasting anyone's time with boring day hikes.

These are high-adventure weekend experiences, designed to safely expand your limits and make a big impact on your life. Backpacking, adventure sports, beautiful campsites, local events, food & music--the full weekend experience.

With all their excitement, big trips are difficult to plan! Not to mention expensive and time consuming…

Our mission is to simplify these planning challenges. Think of it as a visual bucket list & logistical resource for adventure leaders to get you from “I want to do that!” to “I can’t believe this is possible.”
