Last Best Places

When Wilderness Adventures was established in 1973, we were lucky to receive operating permits in the most spectacular and beautiful national parks, national forests, and Wilderness areas in America. Over time, we have built on these relationships and expanded our operating permits.

Our permits are truly special and with the privilege of being able to take students to these wonderful places, we also recognize our tremendous responsibility to see that these areas remain preserved and protected for future generations.

Our expedition groups learn to respect these amazing destinations and are taught to enjoy them without leaving an impact or trace of their visits to them. It is with sheer gratitude, pride, and joy that we are able to share with young people these magnificent “Last Best Places” as we like to call them.
