Backpacking, elevated….

Create your ultimate backcountry wilderness adventure with Canyons and Chefs.  This is absolutely perfect; all of the wild, dramatic, tranquil natural landscapes without any of the work.   Carry only your personal gear as Canyons and Chefs ferries you through some of the most incredible landscapes on the planet.  Sleep in large, comfortable tents, raised cots, state-of-the-art sleeping bags and pads.  Eat multi-course, chef-prepared cuisine more fit for a fine restaurant than a wilderness campsite, enjoy crafted cocktails under the stars, and think about how you should have been doing this your whole life.  

COMFORT RATINGS

FITNESS

Hikers should have the ability to hike on and off marked trails, to scramble over obstacles and/or barriers with frequent changes in elevation for up to 14 miles per day, carrying medium sized packs of gear. All hikes are one-way, except in case of emergency, and are traveled at a steady walking pace with breaks.

COMFORT

Rugged luxury.  Guests will enjoy raised cots, large tents, and other amenities such as multi-course meals, crafted cocktails, and expert personal service.  However, these adventures retain the ruggedness of true backpacking.  There is no access to showers, and bathrooms are primitive in nature (no toilets, trowels and hand wipes).  Meal service is elevated, but seating is typically on the ground with limited access to small tables and backpacking chairs. 

SOLITUDE

Hikers will visit the remote frontier. Guides will take you to the hard-to-reach and hard-to-find attractions that remain completely untouched by the crowds. Groups will see few, if any, other hikers through the trip. Overnighting is private and secluded.
