Description

Join us for this 2-day winter camping experience near Seattle, in which we will learn all the necessary skills to camp in the cold successfully.

After meeting in the Seattle metro area, we will head out to the trailhead. Depending on the weather conditions, we will decide where to go closer to the time. We want to avoid any areas where there may be avalanche advisories.

Once we are at the trailhead we will plan our route using GPS or wands, if there is fresh snow. Once we have hiked to the site, we will set up camp and learn how to fortify it.

The next day we will hike to a destination of our choosing and you will help to plan the route and navigate our way there. Along the way we will discuss winter ecology and snow conditions. All of these are essential for winter trekking and camping in more remote locations.

After our hike, we will return to camp and pack everything up then hike back down to the trailhead. On the way back to Seattle, we will stop at a restaurant for a celebratory dinner.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this winter camping experience in the Cascade Range of wonderful Washington state!

What people are saying about Miyar

Gillian

Sandeep and his wife, Jasmine, are lovely guides! We did a 1 day intro to rock climbing excursion with them and we had a great time! They communicated well and provided us with a fun and safe day of climbing. They chose routes based on our experience and taught us a lot. I highly recommend hiring Miyar Adventures. We have already shared their info with friends and family.

Five days of awesome is all I can say. Glen our instructor and guide was extremely knowledgeable. I had previous glacier mountaineering experience and his techniques were so much more efficient than what I had been taught. To top it off we had a great summit day.

Whole group summited! Huge thanks to the guides for helping us all get there! It's certainly not an easy climb, but the entire experience was fantastic. Especially loved the snow skills training on the second day. Lots of fun was had practicing the self arrest & team arrest. The team arrest training was a huge confidence builder to see that I wasn’t going to take the entire team down if I fell The lead guide (Glen) was fabulous. You can tell he really enjoys sharing his passion for the outdoors with the guests on his trip. Folks in the store are super helpful as well. Sandeep (owner) is great, and have talked with him in the store & via email several times to get advice. Great pre-trip guidance (including a meeting the night before the climb to make sure you have all the gear you need & nothing you don’t), and you can tell how much Sandeep cares about making sure every guest has a great experience. Lots of reasonably priced gear rental options available here as well if you aren’t sure if mountaineering is for you. Considering a Kili trip while I’m still in good hiking shape, and they’ll be the first place I look at if I decide to book.

I took the Mountaineering skills course (5 days) in Baker. I learned so much about Glacier travel, rope management, crevasse rescue, and much more! Glen, our guide was awesome and highly knowledgeable. We also got to summit Mt. Baker during the course which was the most magical part! I HIGHLY recommend them!

Myself and my daughter climbed Mt. Baker with Miyar Adventures via Easton Glacier route, Simon was our guide. The whole experience was epic in many ways. Simon's knowledge is excellent, I would trust him 100% in any situations that may come up on the mountain. We learned a lot and it was fun. The overall organization from Miyar was great (including informational emails from Jake and communication with Sandeep). Great company that I would choose again in a heartbeat.
