It is also tempered with safety and do-ability. \nI am a certified WFR and will be traveling with the entire way. \nThe actual dates are Apr 25-May 11\, 2025 and the trip is 17 days/16 nights.\nWe have done this adventure twice already\, in 2021 and 2022\, and everybody had a blast! CLICK HERE to see attendee photos of the EBC trek \nWE HAVE MADE CHANGES BASED UPON EXPERIENCE. \n\nWe are ADDING Yoga and Meditation\, and a local expert TO BE WITH US to guide in Buddhist practice and local culture.\nWe are ADDING two days while going up to better acclimatize.\nWe are ADDING a HELLICOPTER FLIGHT from our highest camp back to start point AND REMOVING two days going down by taking the flight.\n\nTo clarify. We are NOT going up to the top of Everest (29\,000’)\nWe are going to Everest Base Camp at 17\,600’\nOur starting elevation will be in Lukla at 9\,400’ \nYou need to be of average or better fitness. If you can manage walking 3-6 hours a day\, up and down a hill while carrying a light daypack\, you will be OK! If you are very fit and work out and train\, you will be at the front. \nProfessional guides to lead\, and Yaks to carry our gear are included.

You will have a bed in a shared room with roommate (from the group). Sorry\, a solo room will not be available on this trip. We will pair up everybody. \nHow dangerous is this? What if I get sick or hurt?\nThis is NOT the summiting Everest with people dying from bad choices. We will be walking on an established\, well used trail the entire time\, and NOT on snow or ice. Stats from past years show that 30\,000 people a year do the EBC Trek. With all that said\, . . . our trip INCLUDES emergency insurance. We are also Certified Wilderness First Responders.\nPlain and simple\, safety is our primary goal. We will have an experienced guide and porters\, and we will be along the entire way. \nHow much does this cost?\nEverest Base Camp Trip $3750 – 17 Days\, land only (airfare not included)\nFor this trip we don’t offer single occupancy and we match you with a roommate if you don’t have one. \nWe might be able to organize a group airfare from Los Angeles (LAX):**\nGroup Airfare would be around $1600.

SUMMARY:ARIZONA: Superstition Wilderness Backpack
DESCRIPTION:Backpacking in the Arizona (Sonoran) desert at low/moderate elevation. The Superstition Wilderness is located east of Phoenix. Expect to see a lot of red rocks\, cactus\, etc. The wilderness has a well developed trail system and is quite popular (in winter). Water sources may be few and far between. \nItinerary (tentative) \nDay 1 (Sunday\, January 19th): Drive to Lost Dutchman State Park (https://azstateparks.com/lost-dutchman/) and meet/car camp there. \nDay 2: Backpack from First Water Trailhead to Charlebois Springs (reliable water); 8 miles\, +1225-1006 \nDay 3: Leave camp set up at Charlebois and day hike a loop around Bluff Spring Mountain with views of Miner’s Needle and Weaver’s Needle; 10 mi\, +1608 – 1692 \nDay 4: Backpack from Charlebois to Kane Spring; 11mi\, +2280 -1582 \nDay 5: Backpack from Kane to Charlebois; 6 mi\, +1090 – 1855 or to Second Water; 12 mi \nDay 6: Back to First Water Trailhead; 6-8 miles\, +1006 -1225\nDrive home in evening \nImportant notes:\nWeather may reschedule or cancel this trip. Itinerary is tentative\, flexible\, and may change depending on the water availability\, ranger advice\, and group preferences. This trip will be conducted at a relaxed pace with no more than 12 miles each day. Your trip leader walks slowly\, likes to stop and breathe and appreciate nature\, and take pictures. This is a trip in the desert – there will only be water at the camps\, be prepared for both heat and cold (snow is possible). The days will be short and the weather can be unpredictable. \nDISCLAIMER: Hike at your own risk. Be prepared and self-sufficient. Be responsible for yourself and your safety. Make good decisions. With any trip\, things can change\, reservations can get lost\, the unexpected can happen. A go-with-the-flow attitude is always a good thing\, and most importantly\, let’s all have fun!

By signing up for these events\, you agree not to hold the Meetup organizers responsible for whatever happens to you on these events. The hiking group does not certify the expertise of the organizers\, the event or assistant organizers (hike leaders) and…We are NOT responsible for any possible losses or injuries.
