Hygieneprotocol

Since the beginning, our commitment has been to provide life-enriching hiking experiences with safety always at the forefront. In this spirit, when we reopened after the 2020 shutdown, we implemented new transportation logistics, behavior guidelines, sanitization practices, and booking terms that preserved the core nature of the Wildland experience while increasing safety and reducing risk. Between June 2020 and May 2021, we accommodated nearly 6,000 guests without a single verified or suspected case of COVID-19 transmission on a Wildland trip. Due to the success of the guidelines and the ever-evolving situation with COVID-19, we will continue with necessary protocols as long as necessary to protect our guests and staff to the greatest extent possible. We invite you to contact us for our full list of our new hygiene protocols.
