Are you a backpacker with strong endurance and a love for adventure?

Or, are you thinking of becoming one?

You’ll rarely find a challenge as inspirational as this.

The High Sierra to Mt. Whitney trek is a 75-mile journey across Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, which tests limits and rewards with breathtaking views, diverse ecosystems, and the non-technical summit of Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the Lower 48.

This adventure is about more than just reaching the peak — it’s about pushing your limits, elevating your hiker’s skillset, and gaining confidence in the wilderness.

From pre-trip essentials like gear selection and fitness training to valuable knowledge about acclimatization, navigating unpredictable weather, and ensuring your food stays safe from bears, Christopher will get you prepped for the challenge of a lifetime.
