The Complete Cascade Experience
Our multi-sport, adventure tours are designed for adventure-seekers visiting Washington, and for those in the Pacific Northwest seeking a unique weekend or summer adventure.
Our first-of-their-kind tours that combine are the ultimate tour that will allow you to experience the towering forests, turquoise waters, and glaciated peaks of the Cascades, one of the world’s most impressive mountain ranges.
Our tours immerse you in the wilderness of Washington and involve a combination of activities such as backpacking (hiking and camping) and packrafting (ultralight inflatable kayaking). They are led by our experienced and knowledgeable guides, who will provide you with the skills and equipment you need to have a safe and enjoyable adventure.
We are proud to be the first company to offer tours that offered this pioneering type of tour in the United States, and we cannot wait to share our passion for adventure with you!
