Pack Supported Trips
Explore farther, feel lighter.
.
Travel light. Go further. Experience the wild—unburdened.
Our Pack-Supported Trips combine the freedom of backcountry travel with the comfort of lightened loads. Accompanied by experienced pack animals and wranglers, these journeys allow you to move through the wilderness unencumbered — carrying only what you need for the day, while the rest travels safely with the pack team.
Rooted in an age-old Sierra Nevada tradition, pack-supported expeditions make the backcountry more accessible to all — whether you’re seeking a gentler pace, recovering from old injuries, or simply wishing to experience the wild without the weight of a heavy pack.
The result? A deeper kind of presence. With your shoulders unburdened, you’re free to look up, listen closely, and immerse yourself fully in the rhythm of the trail — connecting more deeply with the land, the moment, and your own natural rhythm.
Come as you are — and let the wild carry you.
