Description

The famed Sierra Nevada mountain range in the state of California is a vast, and breathtaking mountain range. As a result of its colossal size, there is as much space as there is opportunity to enjoy a variety of different activities. And on this 5 day adventure, which takes place during the winter months in the eastern part of the range, the focus will be on mountaineering, snowshoeing and ice climbing.

Each day of this trip will take you to a different place. Thus making each day feel like its own adventure. And at the end of every day you will be able to rest and recuperate at a local hotel or campsite that allows you to see what looks like an endless of ocean of stars in the sky above.

Throughout the 5 days in the Sierra Nevada, you will have the chance to ice climb on a spectacular ice fall. You will get to enjoy a long snowshoe hike that will allow you to admire the beautiful landscape before concluding near an amazing snow cave not far from where we will camp for the night. There will also be a day of skills training and rescue training. Finally, near the end of trip, you will have the chance to scale one of the range’s great peaks. The peak will be chosen based on weather conditions and other criteria.

As a result of the challenging nature of this trip, participants should have prior winter mountaineering experience. They should also be in very good physical condition.

The Sierra Nevada is an amazing place for any nature lover to visit. And it is our hope over the course of this 5 day expedition, you have an experience you will never forget. So if you would like to join us, all you have to do is send us a request, and we’ll do the rest.

Ended up booking a one-night-and-one-day hike summiting Mt Shasta because Mt Rainier was booked out.

I really loved it. Intro to rock climbing was an amazing experience. Explore-share team were so helpful in the process. The trip that I chose in the first place was not available and they managed to find alternatives and offer me the best possible solution in that situation. In the end I had a wonderful day and could not be happier!

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

It would have been helpful to know it was suppose to be a Matterhorn prep course. The goals of the group were a little different.

I was very glad to have the Back country ski tour in Montata by following reasons. 1. I had quick replies from my coordinator and guide whenever I asked something; 2. My guide was cool. 3. The tour was well-planned and appropriate duration. 4. Snow was in a good condition. Thank you!!
