Experience




This 5-day, 4-night backpacking adventure will take you deep into the rugged beauty of the Tushar Mountains, where glacier lakes, towering peaks, and star-filled skies await. Each day, we’ll hike to breathtaking new locations—climbing above 12,000 feet with heavy packs on our backs—and each night, we’ll gather around the fire to reflect, laugh, and connect with God.
This is one of the most physically demanding trips we offer, and it’s designed for those who are ready to push their limits. You’ll need to be in great shape, but the reward is worth every step. Through challenge comes clarity, confidence, and connection—with nature, with yourself, and with your Creator.
We’ll end the week with an unforgettable day of rock climbing, testing your strength one final time before heading home stronger than you came.
*For this adventure you will need to bring your own backpack and sleeping gear (backpack, pad, sleeping bag, tarp/tent)

5 day 4 night

We begin and end the tour in Las Vegas and visit the states of Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. We pass through three Native American reservations as well. Our guides are the best in the area. They usually are natives of Southern Utah and have a lifetime of stories and insights to draw upon. There is no substitute for experience. They provide a comprehensive overview of the history, geology, plant life, and culture of the West.
