Customer Reviews

    We really enjoyed our hike through the Presidential Range in NH. The trip was well organized and the our guide Sean was excellent! We could not have asked for a better guide. He was very informative on what to expect each day as well as extremely patient with all of us. We learned so much from him as we travelled from mountain to mountain and would highly recommend Sean and Wildland Trekking if considering a hiking trip. Sean - we can't thank you enough for making our hike a such wonderful and memorable experience and one that we will always remember.

    Tony

    Asked on January 19th, 2022

    Can you help me on some questions regarding this tour please? 1. I see that we will be sleeping in tents for 3 nights. What about one more? Since it's a five-day-tour? 2. What does it exactly mean a backpacking tour? Will I need to carry everything with me for the whole duration of the trip?

      For the Flat Tops Explorer 5-day tour, you will camp four nights. Yes, you will carry everything you need for all five days on your back, in the backpack we provide. There is a layover day on day three where you will do a day hike from camp, carrying less weight that day.

      TravelerWritten January 2022

      If I'm going to carry everything on my back, how big is the backpack? I mean with all the items that I need to bring according to your list. If I'm flying from NYC to Denver, I'm not sure how to bring all my stuff but a luggage, but there will be no space for it, right?

    • Wildland TrekkingOperatorWritten January 2022

      The pack you will likely be issued will be a 75L backpack but could be 65L. Our sleeping bags are synthetic due to being professionally laundered after each use so must be durable, which means bulky, unfortunately. If you have a down or more compactable 0 degree synthetic bag, it would be recommended to take with you to save weight and space. You will be able to leave your luggage in the vehicle during the hike. If able to travel with a suitcase that is carry-on size, that is ideal.
