Peak Ascents - Hike a traverse AND climb a mountain!
Trekking and mountain climbing
Trip Planning   Trip Features   2008 Schedule & Pricing   References

Some mountaineers seek a climbing experience that isn't all about ice and snow and big summits; one that includes meadows, creeks and rivers, alpine passes, and lengthier approaches along with the satisfaction of summiting. Do you prefer to explore the unnamed and overlooked peaks instead of the well-known and travelled highest points? If you're one who thinks the journey is just as important as the climb then these trips are for you! Fly to a remote part of the park, walk through pristine mountain wilderness, and climb atop beautiful peaks, many unnamed and rarely climbed, if ever. Fly out, raft out, or hike out.
