Guided Trips
ADK’s guided trips will give you confidence in the backcountry. Join our guides for a trip where we will explore safe backcountry travel, Leave No Trace ethics, and more on the way to our destination.
Check out our calendar of programs below. Our programs often fill quickly.
If there is a full program you’d like to attend, please add yourself to the waitlist, as it helps us determine if/when to offer additional programs.
Check out our Guided Trips FAQ or contact us directly for more information about our guided trips. We are not accepting private guided trip requests at this time.
