If you are interested in an Olympic guided tour that has it all, then look no further than our Maiden Peak hike. This tour explores the eastern section of the Grand Ridge trail, the highest maintained trail in Olympic National Park.

On this hike, you will have the unique opportunity to not only hike through the spectacular Hoh River Valley but to view it from above on the famous High Divide Trail!

This trip meets and ends at Glacier Point (personal auto transport is necessary). After viewing the high country from Glacier Point, we embark on a 6.8 mile trek to both the summit of Sentinel Dome (8,122"²) and to the Fissures and Taft Point.

The 4-Mile Trail to Glacier Point day hike is a perfect option for visitors looking to challenge their fitness while experiencing some of the best views in Yosemite Valley.

The Olympic North Coast Backpacking trip offers a unique opportunity for guests to intimately explore the coastal regions along some of the most northwestern points in the continental United States. Traverse coastal forests to reach the beach, where wave-carved rock formations, teeming tide pools, and rugged cliffs await your presence. These shores are far from typical tropical beaches; they are the awe-inspiring, epic rocky shorelines that you see in the movies. While this trail lacks strenuous elevation gain, it far makes up for it in its rocky obstacles. Our expedition offers a distinctive experience mastering the art of tide tables, tide timing, and headland conquests. This adventure demands a flexible attitude and adventurous spirit, promising remarkable moments of awe in pristine wilderness.
