ITINERARY
Day 1 At Overnight Backpack Trip
We set out from the trailhead and venture into the wooded hills of the Cascades. With a comfortable pace we will hike and talk about backpacking and outdoor safety skills. When we reach our destination we will make camp and show how to cook in the backcountry. This is a great opportunity to learn about choosing foods and planning ahead to leave no trace. Kick back and relax by the lake or take an evening stroll without the backpack and watch the sunset.
Day 2 At Overnight Backpack Trip
We wake up to the sound of morning songbirds and the smell of delicious cooking. After breakfast we will break camp and begin our hike out.

Testimonials
  • Alpine Glow on Mt Rainer

    I joined Miyar Adventures for a 4 day backpacking trip at Mt. Rainier. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sandeep is a very knowledgeable guide that is willing to go the extra mile in order to make sure everyone in the group has a good time. I'm looking forward to joining them for another adventure in the future!

  • Three climbers in front of cloud on Mt Baker

    Went on a 4-day backpacking trip to Mount Rainier with Miyar Advantures and Sandeep.  It was a great experience! Sandeep was a great guide who was not only knowledgeable and helpful but genuinely fun to be around.  The trip has sparked my interest in further challenges and adventures, and I think it is safe to say that Miyar Adventures is the first place I will look for my next big one!

  • Glaciers on Mt Rainer

    Sandeep and all of his guides are very personable, knowledgeable, safety conscious and a WHOLE lot of FUN to climb with! I am a beginning climber/backpacker and I enjoyed climbing/Backpacking Rainier with Miyar Adventures. They prepared me well for a successful experience. In fact, I am looking forward to climbing Kilimanjaro with Miyar in December!
