Weather

Expect to encounter weather as diverse as the places we’ll be visiting! Most days should be in the 50s or 60s with the potential for both rain and sun. Higher elevations (such as Crater Lake and Mount Hood) may see some snow! Plan to dress for changing conditions.

Group 

This trip is open to Travel Agents and up to one adult guest. We’ll be driving and heading to activities as a group, led by your Good Trip guide. The group size will range from 8-10 total guests.

Intensity – Mild

This trip is appropriate for beginner hikers, climbers, and paddlers. We will be quite active, so we hope you’re up for the challenge! Your Good Trip guide will have your safety at top of mind at all times and most activities can be adapted to your particular experience level.

Tonight, you’ll settle into your home at Brasada Ranch and enjoy a welcome dinner on site prepared by world class chefs using locally sourced ingredients.

Day 2

Today, we’ll head out to Smith Rock for a day of Rock Climbing instruction! This unique and stunning geological formation is considered one of the premier climbing destinations in North America. We’ll join local climbing guides who will give you instruction and support as you test your nerve on the rock. All gear is included. After a morning of climbing, we’ll enjoy a picnic lunch and can spend the afternoon exploring the park before heading back to our accommodations. Tonight, we can toast a glass of Oregon red around the bonfire.

Day 3

This morning we’ll head south to see the massive wonder that is Crater Lake. This massive lake was formed over 7,700 years ago when the 12,000’ Mount Mazama experienced a violent eruption. Today, it is one of the deepest lakes on the planet. Snowy conditions may be in our future so we may be exploring in our hiking boots or in our snowshoes (provided)! A packed lunch is also provided today.

Day 4

Get ready to hit the water with a day of Whitewater Rafting on the Deschutes! This time of year, the snowmelt really gets the waters flowing – so expect some serious adventure. We’ll be navigating through Class II-IV waters under the guidance of our own professional rafting guides. Wetsuit rentals are available. Tonight, we can warm up around the fire, enjoying our last night at Brasada.
