Along the way, spot local wildlife and listen to insightful commentary from your guide about the area's history and natural scenery.

We have had the pleasure of touring with guests from two years old to 90 years young! Be sure to wear long pants and sturdy footwear. Maximum weight per passenger is 280 lbs.

 

Cooking in the back-country is an art. It takes careful planning, cool outdoor gear and light weight ingredients. At Peak Nic, you will experience how it feels to be completely self-sufficient in the great outdoors. Equipped with a small backpack full of ingredients, outdoor cooking gear and a hiking pole, you will be hiking a 2.1mi/3.5km intermediate trail to a famous local peak Old Fort Point. Once at the top, we will setup camp and I will teach you how to cook delicious food in the outdoors using light and flavor-packed ingredients with a "leave-no-trace" approach. We will then sit and enjoy our creations while taking in panoramic views
