About the activity:

Explore the breathtaking Alps of Oregon on OMSI’s most challenging high-elevation backpacking trip! Trek through the stunning Wallowa Mountains, traversing rugged alpine terrain while learning about glacial geology, wilderness survival, and orienteering with a map and compass. Designed for those in good physical condition, this adventure features long days of uphill and downhill hiking with a heavy pack. Along the way, practice low-impact camping and deepen your knowledge of alpine ecology in one of Oregon’s most spectacular landscapes. Prior backpacking experience is recommended, and routes may vary based on trail and campsite conditions. With challenging physical activity, the camp takes place in the Eagle Cap Wilderness, with transportation to and from OMSI. Check-in is at 7 a.m. on the first day, and pick-up is at 5 p.m. on the last day.
