Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this backpacking trip? Can kids join?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but the trip is best suited for teens and adults due to the physical demands of backpacking. Kids 12 and up can usually handle it with a good attitude! Just make sure they’re comfortable in the outdoors. The guides are great with younger participants.

Q: What’s the typical weather like in July and August for this trip?

A: July and August tend to be the warmest months in Olympic National Park, with daytime temps around 70-80°F. But don’t be fooled! It can get chilly at night, so layers are key. Rain is always a possibility, so a good waterproof jacket is essential.

Q: Can this trip be rescheduled if needed? What’s the policy?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if needed! Lasting Adventures has a flexible policy, but it’s best to give them at least 14 days notice. They’re super accommodating when it comes to changing dates, as long as there’s availability.

Thinking of gifting the Olympic Backpacking trip!

Hey everyone! I’m considering gifting the 4-Day Olympic Backpacking experience to my sister. She loves hiking but has never done a multi-day trip. I’m a bit nervous about what she should pack and the overall difficulty. Has anyone done this recently and can share how they handled it? I really want this to be a memorable gift!

Just got back from the backpacking trip—amazing experience!

Wow, just wow! I did the 4-Day Olympic Backpacking trip a few weeks ago, and it was breathtaking. The Sol Duc waterfall was stunning, and I couldn’t believe how many glacial lakes we saw! The guides were super friendly and made the whole experience unforgettable. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for adventure!
