Featured Destinations
Canoe Camping:
Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA)-Minnesota
Explore
Situated within the Superior National Forest in Minnesota and bordering Canada, the BWCA is one of our favorite places to return. Whether you’re seeking some peaceful relaxation, a great family outing, or a wilderness challenge, the BWCA has it all. Trips are available for every age range and skill level with a group size of 8 or less.
Backpacking:
Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, Kentucky
Explore
Mixing history with natural beauty makes the best adventure. Cumberland Gap tucked in where Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee meet offers both. Follow the Wilderness Road as Daniel Boone did in 1775 and hike along forested ridges with spectacular panoramic views. A great trip for all but especially suited for families and youth groups.
