Guided Hike
Anyone ever done a guided hike? Thinking of going west for the 1st time and thought this might be the best way to go to get the lay of the land etc...Cost a little bit and will haft to be around people(fellow bp's) so that is the concern. Any feedback would be nice..Thanks..Have a nice day....wish we were out

RE: Guided Hike
I'd just try to hook up with another TTer and save some money. If anybody wanted to see a place I was familiar with, I'd do my best to get off work to hike with them.

RE: Guided Hike
GORP has lots of info on guided hikes.

Unless they include a real teacher (geology or something) and the thing is for credit I think you will have more fun on your own.

RE: Guided Hike
Yes, talk to me, too.

Gorp you go fishing and see if you get any bites.

Here, we all know each other and hike with each other, all over the country.

If you want to come on one of the TT llama hikes (the August one is full), check out Phil's trip page.

If you want to go on a CHEAP (er) guided hike with me (as opposed to some of the name brands), go visit my website:

I'm booked for the summer, but I'm woring on the schedule for '02.

RE: Guided Hike
Amen to all above. Unless you are a total obnoxious creep, you will fit in here. You may want to think about your "style" a bit. Do you bail out of camp at 6 AM, push hard all day, rack up 10-12 miles and then hit the hay with sundown? Or are you a dauddler (SP?) out of camp at the crack of 10, hot lunch a couple hours later, and pitching the tent by 2? I've found there is a wide range of "styles" and most trips can accomodate a most anyone. Then set up a trip with someone and be there on time!
Enjoy.

That "dauddling" sounds nice.

RE: Guided Hike
It was funny, mel, but we know you are very busy. You keep mentioning yardwork. Do you have gardens or do you have a ranch? Or is it yardwork related to llamas?

Glad to know I'm not the only one whoring myself out from time to time, Melsie!
