BOOKING FOR OUR 2027 MULTI-DAY TRIPS
At ESC Outside, we do more than guide local hiking trips—we immerse ourselves in the untamed spirit of the Western and Southwestern United States. Our hiking itineraries deliver the best of both worlds: comfort and unrivaled beauty. With nothing more than a light daypack, you’ll explore dramatic mountains, awe inspiring valleys, beautiful coastlines and then return each afternoon to a shower, wonderful dinner and comfortable bed.
ESC Outside works hard to ensure the hikes we provide are within the capabilities of the clients we host. What we ask is that you are physically prepared to do the miles on the trip scheduled. With that we provide training plans to help you prepare for your trip. Additionally, we provide a list of clothing and gear you may need for your trip.
Explore the variety of ESC Outside’s hiking trips we typically do during our Spring to Fall guiding season. Each trip is all-inclusive and crafted to immerse you in the heart of the majestic National Parks & Forests we call home.
