Travel with us on an eight-day journey into the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness! From refreshing alpine lakes to challenging ascents, we’ll experience the raw beauty of the Mt. Jefferson backcountry. Vistas of ancient forests and burned areas will give us an intimate look at the stages a forest goes through as it recovers from fire. This high-mileage and high-elevation expedition is designed to expand upon previous backpacking experience.
