Want to have an adventure this summer? Join us for our fourth annual Pacific Trail Program! We will be taking 10 days at the end of August to hike the Wonderland Trail: a 93 mile backpacking loop that circumnavigates Mt Rainier. Enjoy the alpine meadows, cascading waterfalls, and breathtaking mountain views of Mt Rainier National park while learning expedition planning skills and natural history of the area. Total cost is $350 (including gear, transportation, food, and instruction). This program also fulfills the experiential learning requirement for graduation! No previous backpacking experience necessary!
