Washington Llamas

Pescatarian, vegetarian, dairy-free, vegan, kosher, and gluten-free are easily accommodated on this trek. All dietary requests must be made at least 2 weeks before the trip.

• Dinners are dried and re-hydrated, with desserts served each evening.
• Lunches are a selection of wraps, nut butters, mixed nuts and dried fruit.  Snacks include a selection of energy bars or similar items.
• Breakfasts include hot coffee, tea, and a selection of oatmeal, granola, and bagels.

We carry 25 pounds of gear per person, including the provided tent and sleeping pad (4-6 lbs). If your gear exceeds 25 lbs, you’ll need to carry the excess. We recommend avoiding this so you can enjoy the treat of backcountry travel with just a light day pack containing snacks, raingear, and anything else you may need while hiking. Feel free to call us before the trip to help you pare down.
