      Traveler•Written May 2024

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

    • Wildland TrekkingOperator•Written May 2024

      Yes, backpacking means you are carrying everything you need for the trip with you. Packs are usually around 35-40lbs and we recommend that all guests are trained and fit for the trip.

    • Wildland TrekkingOperator•Written May 2024

      Any pre or post trip lodging or travel is not included in the price. We do have hotels we recommend or in some areas have discounts.

    • Wildland TrekkingOperator•Written August 2022

      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.
