Timberline Adventures Cycling and Hiking Vacations

Hiking Adventures

    Timberline’s hiking program, from its earliest days when we first hiked the Grand Canyon, has always reflected our reverence and love for our national parks. In the season ahead, we’ll add four new (at least new for us) parks to our growing collection: Joshua Tree, Mount Rainier,

    Guadalupe and Craters of the Moon. In total, we’ll offer hiking programs in 31 national parks throughout the western U.S and Canada in 2010.

    Our Odyssey Series for Hikers continues in 2010, and we’ll offer our 11-day, 105-mile Cotswold Hike in England one final time.

    At the heart of all of our hiking programs is the same spirit of adventure which has been the driving force for our entire program since our beginnings 28 years ago. We are committed in our hiking program to creating true backcountry, wilderness adventures that fall just short of actual extended backpacking trips.

    All hikes are inn-to-inn experiences and not camping, but, on occasion, we’ll each carry
whatever we may need for an overnight stay at a backcountry lodge accessible only by foot. Important components of several of our hikes are the exceptional opportunities to spend overnights at remote lodges like the Phantom Ranch on the floor of the Grand Canyon and Havasupai Lodge in Supai village deep within Havasu Canyon, and the magical Shadow Lake Lodge in the heart of the Canadian Rockies wilderness.
