The Western is a demanding 30-day backpacking trip that you’ll experience in one of the potential destinations: Montana’s Beartooth Mountain Range, Wyoming’s Wind River Range or Idaho’s Sawtooth/Bitteroot Range. Your group will hike both on and off the trail, above and below the tree line, over snow-capped mountains, through grassy meadows, and through rugged boulder fields to reach high alpine lakes. Off-trail hiking will test your endurance, route-finding skills, leadership skills, and determination.
