About


Hello! We are Chris & Jesse - It's great to meet you!

We are two dads (obviously) who love taking trips, camping and backpacking - whether that's with our families, friends or with our clients!

Our goal is simple: To help as many people experience the outdoors in the best way possible.

Meet Jesse

Hey, hey! I'm Jesse Morquecho.

I grew up hiking and camping and believe any day spent outside is a day well spent!

When I'm not hiking, camping or leading trips, I'm loving life with my wife Becky and my daughter Vera and running a consulting business and ad agency.

Safety and first aid


Our core values.

Training & Education

Almost 100% of bad experiences in the outdoors can be traced back to being unprepared, a lack of training or experience and poor choices. Whether that's car camping for the first time with a little one or going out on your first winter backpacking trip, we believe creating amazing experiences start with training and education - both of which we'd love to help you get!


Safety + Access

Safety is a top priority for us. The outdoors can be an intimidating place if you are just getting started and we belive everyone should be able to experience it with the confidence and safety a guided trip can bring!

That's also why we love getting youth out of their comfort zone, teaching them skills and letting them gain confidence while having the time of their lives!

preservation

We love how many people enjoy our beatiful world! And we love it even more when people keep it that way! 

We practice and teach a Leave No Trace approach anytime we are outdoors and do everything we can to correct others neglect to do the same.


Having fun

How do you define a perfect trip? For some it's packing in as much relaxation time as possible. For others, it's pushing the limits (and miles).

Whatever the goal, we create trips designed to create a fun and exciting trip for you and your family or friends!
