Choose Your Self-Guided Experience
1. Custom Itinerary DesignTell me your destination, your experience level, and your goals, and I will craft a personalized mountain plan tailored exactly to your needs.
Basic (The Blueprint): You provide the vision, I craft the complete, detailed adventure plan. You handle logistics independently. Includes your digital itinerary (PDF) and GPS track files for your navigation apps.
Plus (Seamless Logistics): Everything in Basic, plus full coordination and management of all logistics (transfers, accommodation, etc.) for a completely stress-free experience.
Premium (Total Peace of Mind): Everything in Plus, with priority 24/7 support and active satellite oversight. Includes the option of a Garmin Satellite Communicator (inReach Mini 2) rental (refundable deposit required). This allows us to track your progress live on the trail, ensure you stay safely on track, and offer immediate guidance or course correction, even in zero-cell coverage areas.
Initial Consultation (Optional but Recommended):
Before we finalize your itinerary, we recommend a 20-minute planning call to ensure the adventure I design is perfectly aligned with your goals and fitness level.

Important: Medical Information & Personal First Aid Kit
Please note that for all self-guided routes, your safety is your responsibility. It is strongly recommended to carry a personal first aid kit and relevant medical information. Regarding your gear: Tennis shoes are prohibited for these hikes. Using the right equipment is like choosing the right vehicle for the terrain—just as you wouldn't take a city car off-roading in a Jeep, please ensure you have proper hiking footwear. If you choose to hike in tennis shoes, you do so at your own risk. Please review my cancellation policy before booking.
