The Road Less Traveled is open to anyone who welcomes the unique opportunity to have fun, meet new friends and enjoy the adventure of a lifetime. Our expeditions are geared to young people who seek unusual experiences, wanting to learn and be challenged. We explore some of the most extraordinary country in the world, learning a variety of activities such as whitewater rafting and kayaking, backpacking, ice and snow climbing, mountaineering, rock climbing, sea kayaking and desert hiking. The trips aren't always easy, but they offer many gifts. All that's necessary is some sturdy gear, a bit of enthusiasm and a measure of commitment.

Our unique expeditions blend pure adventure with knowledge. The lessons learned on a windswept bluff are often as important as those conveyed in a high school classroom. If you join us, you'll engage mind, muscles and heart in an incredible process of discovery. This happens at sunset around a campfire, on the trail, over a mountain pass, or by a river's edge...

The Road Less Traveled offers programs that are rigorous, challenging, but not competitive. Participants move at their own pace - learning basic skills from map reading and trip planning to mountaineering and whitewater rafting. We progress from the simple to the complex, whether pitching a tent or learning an Eskimo roll in a kayak. It is our mission to offer each participant a rich and full measure of adventure and challenge, an experience that melds independence and teamwork in some of the world's most breathtaking country.

We reach beyond the great wilderness to the fascinating people and cultures of the world. We explore native cultures, witnessing a vital history that lives in dance and music, in sculptures and etchings, and in stories told by some of the most intriguing people you will ever meet.

We dive into nature's mystery and wonder. On slopes and glaciers, in streams and rain forests, you'll feel the hardness of stone and appreciate the softness of water. It's a chance to examine the nature of things. It's a chance to see yourself as part of something timeless and ever changing.
