Hike: Epic Summit Series (6 day)
$0.00
We have designed this trip using our intimate knowledge of the local mountains, understanding of altitude physiology, and hiking/climbing in the high mountain chains on six continents. This unique trip is not offered by any other outfitters and can arguably be considered one of the most unique and beautiful trips in North America and around the globe.
Description
This is a 6-day summit series (6 consecutive day hikes) epic trip. The amazing part of this trip is that you will have the opportunity to experience four unique mountain areas (including a designated wilderness area and a national park) while returning to the comfort of modern amenities at the end of each day.
There will also be an opportunity to learn how slope, aspect, elevation, and topography make all these hikes completely unique. The evenings will be spent in local, specially chosen lodging, while the days will take you high into the mountains. You will have the opportunity to summit 8 peaks (including 1 peak >8,000′, 3 peaks >12,000′, 3 peaks > 13,000′ and 1 >14,000′) in six days. The elevation gained and lost over these 6 days is impressive. This is an intermediate level day-hike summit series trip. You will be required to carry a daypack on each day’s hike. Hiking experience and a good fitness level are recommended. This trip is designed to improve your fitness and acclimate you to high altitude hiking and climbing. It includes the added bonus of more-effective recovery time by spending the evenings in the comforts of local lodging. If you have questions about your fitness level and this trip, please contact us.
