Our trips run the gamut from easy-going hikes with lodging on tropical beaches to challenging backpacking at high altitudes.

Our ratings are assigned within the context of the kind of trip. So remember—a beginning backpacking trip, rated Easy, will be significantly more difficult than a hiking trip with the same rating!

When we judge the difficulty in our trips, we look at factors such as the trip length, the pace, the altitude, elevation changes, and daily mileage.

The chart below will give you ratings and typical mileage for our trips.
