We carry what we need and walk into the quiet corners of the Sea to Sky — alpine lakes, high meadows, ridgeline camps, and nights under the peaks.
Even accomplished backpackers learn something here — we focus on lightweight backpacking, with special attention to food: the most nutrition and taste from the least weight.
The route
We know the best places in the Sea to Sky to camp — the best views for the effort. Days run roughly 8am to 5pm, with the route built around your group and the season, and extra days are easy to add. We keep packs light and meals good.
Itinerary
- Day 1 — Walk in A steady approach to a high camp, with the afternoon to settle in and explore.
