Bob Marshall Wilderness Roving Trips
New for 2024, we’re expanding our backcountry wilderness offerings to include roving trips. Our roving trips, as the name implies, move camps during the trip, giving you the chance to overnight in different and beautiful places throughout the duration. They’re also shorter, making it easier to fit into your summer vacation plans.
