3 Day / 2 Night Hotel Excursions with Sightseeing, Activities, Restaurants & More!

Explore the state & beyond in comfort...

… visiting a select destination city hitting the very best natural & civilized attractions with fun activities like hiking, biking, historic tours, cave tours, riverboat tours & historic downtown walking tours!  All while staying in a comfortable hotel, eating at well rated restaurants, and sometimes stopping at ice cream shops or local wineries. These trips are generally less strenuous than our wilderness trips.

Requirements:  These trips are for moderately active people who can walk several miles, but these are easier than our wilderness trips. Some trips may have other requirements–check specific trip.

“I hear from so many people who hesitated to attend a trip for a year or more because they didn’t think they were capable, only to find out later they’d been missing out! Don’t sell yourself short!”
