Choosing your Trip Level

Many factors come into play when choosing the right level of trip, such as physical condition and whether or not you are coming rested. The following are “rules of thumb” on a “sliding scale” that will help you choose a level suited to your abilities.

Access in and out of camps varies between 3—9 hours and 5—20 km, and includes elevation changes up to 1,000m over uneven terrain. Daily itineraries vary according to the level of the trip and group interests.

Level I – Beginner/intermediate with camping experience. May not have experience on uneven terrain or partake in the activity on a regular basis. Once in camp, expect rides/hikes of 3—4 hours covering 6—10 km mostly on defined trails, and elevation changes of less than 1,000m. Intermediate and advanced that do not have experience on uneven terrain may best be suited to Level I.

Level II – Intermediate to advanced with camping experience. Has experience on uneven terrain. May not partake in the activity on a regular basis but is in good physical condition and wants a demanding adventure. Includes challenging terrain and undefined trails. Once in camp, expect rides/hikes of 4—6 hours that cover 7—12 km, and elevation changes up to 1,000m.

Level III - Advanced with wilderness camping experience. Has experience on uneven and steep terrain. Partakes in the activity on a regular basis, is in good physical condition and wants to be challenged. Includes challenging and steep terrain, and undefined trails. Once in camp, expect rides/hikes of 6—9 hours that cover 12—20 km, and elevation changes that exceed 1,000m.
