Our Mission :

At Sierra Summit Expeditions, we believe that the wilderness is a powerful place, capable of profound transformation. Our business is centered around providing outdoor backpacking adventures in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. We cater to individuals of all experience levels, from beginners taking their first steps into the world of backpacking to intermediate adventurers looking to push their limits. At Sierra Summit Expeditions, our mission is to harness the transformative power of the wilderness. We offer outdoor backpacking adventures that promote self-discovery, adventure, and connection, while sharing our passion for the forest to those individuals looking to push themselves.

Shorter Trips:

For those seeking a quick escape into the wilderness, our shorter trips are the perfect option. Designed with beginners and novice backpackers in mind, these expeditions offer a safe and enjoyable introduction to backpacking. They're more than just outdoor experiences; they're opportunities for self-discovery, adventure, connecting with the elements, and forming lasting connections with oneself and fellow adventurers.

Medium-Length Trips:

Our medium-length trips cater to intermediate backpackers eager to expand their horizons. These journeys strike a harmonious balance between adventure and skill-building. Explore the untamed wilderness, refine your backpacking and map-reading abilities, embrace the raw elements, and foster personal growth. Along the way, not only will you reconnect with nature, but you'll also create lasting bonds with like-minded individuals.

Why Backpacking Matters:

Backpacking with Sierra Summit Expeditions goes beyond exploring nature; it's about unlocking the potential for personal transformation:

  • Connection with the Elements: Gain a profound understanding of nature's raw power, humbling yourself in the face of its beauty and unpredictability.
