Knowledge through Wilderness Adventure

ecology

We believe that to experience true adventure, you must first have a reason to be there. We take time to understand where we are, to live in nature and to share in the culture and community of the Southwest. Our tradition of wilderness exploration honors the spirit of adventure and thirst for knowledge Hillis L. Howie initiated on the first Prairie Trek in 1926 and the decades of Trekkers who grew to be responsible stewards of the environment. This is who we are. This is why we love what we do.

“This was the best summer of all — the Gulch is like a second home. The teachings I learn here I take home and use in my school and home life. I was proud of being able to be a leader on hikes and I learned how delicate an ecosystem can really be and how to tread lightly.”
