Physical Conditioning

You don't need to be in Olympic shape to participate in our trips, but being in reasonably good physical condition will increase your enjoyment. We will be hiking at elevations from 8,000 to 13,000 feet and will be carrying packs with us. Occasionally people get altitude sickness from this type of elevation. You can greatly decrease your chance of altitude sickness by being well rested, hydrated and in good hiking condition. While you can succeed on these trips 鈥渙ff the couch,鈥澛爂oing for regular hikes and/or聽walks prior to arrival can greatly improve your experience

First Aid

All trip leaders are trained in basic first aid and CPR. Both trips will have Wilderness First Responders present for the duration of the course who are capable of handling more complex medical scenarios and facilitating evacuations. All Outdoor Programming is inherently risky, however we have policies and procedures in place to reduce these risks.

If you require emergency聽medications (e.g albuterol, epinephrine, etc), please bring two of each medication.

Equipment Checklist

Please see the Equipment Checklist page for a detailed packing list. We can supply most of the required backpacking and camping equipment, however you are welcome to bring your own. For items that you bring from home, we would highly recommend testing and breaking in equipment prior to the trip to avoid unforeseen issues.

Required Footwear

• Hiking boots/shoes: You must have a pair of hiking boots. This trip is not the place to break in a new pair. If you are buying a pair, please give yourself enough time to break them in prior to your trip.
• Tennis shoes: Bring a pair of lightweight athletic shoes to give your feet a break when we're not hiking.
• On the river: Also bring a pair of shoes that you don't mind getting wet while we're on the river (sport/river sandals like Tevas are best; if not, wear聽old tennis shoes). Flip flop sandals are not appropriate.
