Wilderness Solos

Have you ever dreamed of traveling through the backcountry alone? Have you ever imagined that you would have all the skills necessary to safely explore some of the most beautiful land on earth and camp amongst pristine mountain lakes and towering peaks? Have your realized that you are the type of person who needs just a little support on your first such excursion so that you can practice and master your skills with a seasoned mentor at hand?

At Backcountry Retreats, we work with our clients to grow them into self-reliance and self-sufficieny in the backcountry by providing enough support for the wilderness solo so that you are empowered to go out again and again on your own. We head out into the wilderness as a team and practice some 101 Crash Course material. After a few days, you head out on your own for a 1-7 day wilderness solo. Your EMT guide waits for your return and is there for you in case of any emergencies.

This excursion can be designed for the beginner or advanced backpacker, and most itineraries tend to be challenging due to the elevation of the San Juan and surrounding mountains. This will be the experience of a lifetime, and often clients use this wilderness time to undertake a vision quest. Are you interested? Contact us now!
