SUMMARY:Fall Womens Adventure Weekend - October 11th - 13th - Manning Park\, BC
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a women’s fall adventure weekend amidst the golden larches. The perfect way to embrace the beauty of the changing season while fostering camaraderie and connection. As the larch trees transform into a stunning display of vibrant yellow and gold\, the landscape becomes an ideal backdrop for hiking\, photography\, and reflection. Evenings can be spent around a campfire\, sharing stories and laughter under the crisp autumn sky. Whether you’re an avid adventurer or simply seeking a serene escape\, this weekend promises not only breathtaking views but also the opportunity to connect with like-minded women\, creating memories and friendships to last a lifetime.\nThis autumn escape will be held in Manning Park. We will be staying in the Last Resort at Manning Park Resort. The Last Resort cabin is a character filled building that can accommodate up to 50 guests. But since we believe in smaller group adventures we will be capping this adventure to 25 guests\, that means lots of sleeping and roaming room for everyone! \nSo what hike are we doing!? The Frosty Mountain Trail of course! Manning Park is the western limit for alpine larch trees in BC and makes this hike the closest place to Vancouver to see alpine larch trees. Yes this can be a very poplar hiker during larch season but that’s why we are staying in Manning Park and will be one of the first groups on the trail!

SUMMARY:Skyline to the Border: A Manning Park Backpacking Adventure July 21–23 | Manning Park\, BC
DESCRIPTION:Join Guided By for a three-day backcountry backpacking trip into the alpine landscapes of Manning Provincial Park. This guided adventure follows a section of the beautiful Skyline Trail to a quiet forest camp before exploring the dramatic ridgeline of Hozameen Ridge.\nOver three days we’ll hike through subalpine meadows\, forested trail corridors\, and high alpine ridge terrain while carrying our overnight packs into the backcountry.\n\nThe Trip\nOur journey begins along the Skyline Trail as we hike into Mowich Camp\, a peaceful backcountry campsite tucked into the trees. While the camp itself sits quietly within the forest\, the trail leading there offers sweeping alpine views and some of the most scenic hiking terrain in southern British Columbia. \nWe’ll settle into camp for two nights\, giving us the chance to slow down and enjoy the experience of being deep in the backcountry. \nOn our full day in the mountains we’ll head out with lighter packs to explore Hozameen Ridge\, a striking ridgeline that runs along the Canada–USA border. From the ridge we’ll take in expansive views across Manning Park and toward Hozameen Mountain\, one of the most dramatic peaks in the region. \nOur destination is near Monument 74\, where a border marker stands along the ridge — a unique spot where two countries meet in the alpine. \nEvenings back at camp are all about good food\, fresh mountain air\, and the quiet of the forest. \n\nTrip Highlights\n\n\nBackpacking along the scenic Skyline Trail \n\n\nTwo nights at a remote backcountry campsite \n\n\nDay hiking along the dramatic Hozameen Ridge \n\n\nBig alpine views toward Hozameen Mountain \n\n\nA fully guided small-group backcountry experience \n\n\n\nTrip Stats\nDuration: 3 days / 2 nightsLocation: Manning Park\, BCCamping: Backcountry (Mowich Camp) \nDay 1:Hike to Mowich CampApprox. 8 kmApprox. 500–600 m elevation gain \nDay 2:Day hike along Hozameen Ridge toward Monument 74Approx. 10–12 km round tripApprox. 400 m elevation gain \nDay 3:Hike out from Mowich CampApprox. 8 km \nTotal Distance: ~26–28 km over three days \n\nDifficulty\nModerate Backpacking Trip \nParticipants should be comfortable hiking 8–12 km per day and carrying an overnight backpack. \nThe terrain includes forest trails\, alpine sections\, and some sustained elevation gain. While the pace will be manageable and supported by guides\, this trip is best suited to hikers with a good base level of fitness and some hiking experience. \nWhat’s Included\nYour Guided By trip is designed so you can focus on the experience while we handle the planning. \nIncluded in this adventure: \n\n\nProfessional hiking guides leading the trip from start to finish \n\n\nAll meals during the trip (fresh\, hearty backcountry meals prepared for the group) \n\n\nAll trip logistics planned and organized \n\n\nWater filtration system & backcountry cooking set up \n\n\nWilderness First Responder–certified guides for safety and emergency preparedness \n\n\nRoute planning and navigation handled by your guides \n\n\nSmall group experience for a supportive and enjoyable trip \n\n\nFrom the moment the trip begins\, your guides will take care of the details — from navigation and camp setup support to preparing meals — so you can focus on enjoying the trail\, the scenery\, and the experience of backpacking in the mountains. \n\nBasic Backcountry Gear List\nA full gear list will be provided after registration\, but participants should plan to bring: Each guest will need to carry roughly 7 lbs of group gear (our group food and group gear) \nBackpacking Essentials \n\n\nBackpack (50–65L recommended) \n\n\nTent \n\n\nSleeping bag \n\n\nSleeping pad \n\n\nClothing \n\n\nHiking clothing layers \n\n\nWarm insulating layer \n\n\nRain jacket \n\n\nHat and gloves \n\n\nExtra socks \n\n\nCamp & Food \n\n\nBowl/mug/utensils \n\n\nOther Essentials \n\n\nHeadlamp \n\n\nWater bottle \n\n\nHiking poles \n\n\nPersonal first aid kit \n\n\nToiletries & toilet kit \n\n\n\nWhy This Trip?\nThe Skyline corridor and Hozameen Ridge offer some of the most dramatic hiking terrain in southern British Columbia. With alpine ridgelines\, quiet forest camps\, and sweeping views across the borderlands\, this trip is a beautiful introduction to multi-day backpacking in Manning Park. \nArrival & Pre-Trip Meet Up\nBecause Manning Provincial Park is a longer drive for many participants\, we recommend arriving in the park the evening before the trip begins. \nStaying nearby allows everyone to start the adventure relaxed and ready for the trail. \nOn the evening before departure\, we will host a short group meet-up where you’ll meet your guides and fellow participants. During this time we will: \n\n\nReview the trip plan and route \n\n\nGo over important logistics for the next day \n\n\nAnswer any final questions \n\n\nDistribute shared group gear \n\n\nThis gathering helps everyone start the trip feeling organized and prepared. \nAccommodation Options\nParticipants are responsible for booking their own accommodation the night before the trip.
