    Memorial Trip

    We took on Mt St. Helens for a day climb. Our guide Jennah was fantastic, knowledgeable, patient and very professional. She made this adventure even more special with her considerations. Thank you Jennah and special mention to Rosemary & Kelsey too. Karen thank you for joining us!!!

    Alpine Skills & Snow Camping Trip

    I had a great time on the alpine skills trip on St Helens and highly recommend it! Our guide, Hannah, was very experienced and made me feel at ease the entire trip. If you are interested in learning snow camping skills and educating yourself on safe alpine travel, this trip with Hannah is a must!

    Unforgettable

    My friend and I signed up for the 4 day all women's beginning backpacking trip on the PCT through the beautiful Mt. Hood wilderness. We wanted to challenge ourselves and have an unforgettable experience with like minded women. This trip did not disappoint! Rare Earth Adventures was very organized and the guides were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend this trip to anyone!

    Adventure skills, wilderness fun adventure!

    Our 4 day trip on the PCT from Washington to Oregon with Rare Earth adventures exceeded my expectations!! Our guides Kaylee & Nastia were professional, highly skilled, and taught us so much for future adventures! Their well thought out packing guidance, routes, skills training, and side adventures were top notch. Book the trip!
