Every trail has a tale to tell. With Great Divide you will see more and understand more – things you would have missed on your own.
You could admire the industrious pika, ponder how the old-growth forest renews itself one tree at a time, or be surprised by a landscape transformed by fire.
On your guided hike, we weave together stories about wildlife, wildflowers, glaciers, history, and the big picture processes that reveal the “why” of it all. You’ll come away enriched.
