Does this mean I'd have to carry my tent and everything else all around?

Is the hotel included for the night before we start the tour?

I want to join the tour from 18- 22 Sept 2022 as a single traveller. I don't know how to handle the booking form.

We do still have availability for the Olympic Rainforest to Glacier Trek. Since this is a backpacking trip, the guest would not need to pay a single supplement fee. They would however need to be capable of carrying a backpack with the weight of 35-45 pounds for the duration of the hike.
