HCC - Rocky Mountain Adventure
This is a 8-day backpacking adventure specifically for HCC students and an excellent opportunity to experience the wonder of the beautiful Rocky Mountains, challenging yourself to a week-long backpacking adventure that is sure to be a life-long memory!
Wild Hearts will provide all necessary equipment, food for the week and guides. We will also provide transportation out there and back, some training before the trip. All of this is provided for just $695 per person! Participants will be responsible for bringing appropriate clothing and food/money for food on the way there and back.
This backpacking trip will be done as a complete group, moving at the pace necessary for the whole group. We will be tenting in group tents, we will be cooking together and we will have the opportunity to summit a 14,000'+ peak if conditions permit.
This trip is for men and women, 16 or older.
This promises to be an amazing adventure for those who are up for some mountain fun!
