Rare Earth Adventures

The first PCT backpacking trip is in the books for our 2026 season!!! Spots are still available for later this season; look at upcoming dates through the link in our bio! 🏕️🤩🍄

Scouting routes is an important part of the guiding season! It offers some behind the scenes trail action for our guides and helps us know the current trail conditions for the up-coming season. We hike our permitted sections of the PCT to assess water source quality, campsite space, potential hazards, and general trail conditions. 🏕️

An Oregon icon, sitting on the side of Mt. Hood, Timberline Lodge, built in 1937, is a National Historic Landmark.

Timberline Lodge is a year-round destination for a variety of activities. The history, iconic looks, and delicious coffee are what brings us at Rare Earth Adventures to stop by after our Backpacking the PCT trips in the area. The PCT crosses Mt. Hood on the west side of the mountain, giving thru hikers the chance to stop down and take a break at the lodge. 🏔️
