Description

Disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life during this family friendly overnight backpacking trip in the beautiful wilderness of Washington State!

This is a great opportunity to spend some time with your family in the lovely Snoqualmie National Forest conveniently accessible from Seattle. During this beginner friendly trip, we will take a relaxing hike through the forest as we make our way to the clear waters of one of the area’s peaceful lakes, where we will set up our camp. Options include Annette Lake, Snow Lake, or Talapus and Olallie Lakes.

After meeting at the trailhead during the first day of the program, we will set off through the forest, moving at a comfortable pace. Along the way, we will discuss some backpacking basics that will come in handy for your next family camping trip. Specific topics include: outdoor safety, Leave no Trace principles, packing tips and tricks, and meal planning and execution.

When we arrive at our camping spot, we will set up camp and begin preparing dinner. Afterwards, you will have time to further explore the area or to lounge by the lake, enjoying the peace and tranquility of the woods. After a restful night sleeping in our tent under the stars, we break camp after breakfast the next morning and hike out.

This is a great program for kids 9 years and older. Kids under 9 may participate if they have past experience hiking or camping with their family.

Book now for a fun weekend relaxing with your family in the lovely forest outside of Seattle! Plus, you will learn the basics of backpacking for all your family’s future backpacking and camping trips!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
