Have you ever dreamed of a summer weekend in the Pacific Northwest - join Ma'wa Collective at the North Cascades in Washington State! We will be hiking and horseback riding over the weekend with some of the most beautiful landscape views - this national park is most known for its dramatic peaks, turquoise lakes, and glacier-carved valleys. For more trip details, including itinerary highlights, please visit our website: www.mawacollective.com/trips/north-cascades-summer-trip
There is one large lodge/home reserved for this trip with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Each bedroom has a different configuration of beds - you may register for your preferred sleeping arrangement via our booking platform.
The lodging reserved for this trip is located in Winthrop, Washington - about a 4 hour drive from Seattle. The North Cascades are located about 40 minutes away from lodging. Participants should be prepared for some driving/commuting over the course of the weekend to reach the hikes and activities planned in the itinerary.
If you will be flying in for this trip, we recommend flying into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA): arrival must be no later than 12 pm on Friday, July 25th, and departure no earlier than 3 pm on Monday, July 28th.
Carpools: While we can assist with arranging carpools among participants, we cannot guarantee that every Trip will have local participants that are able to volunteer their personal cars and offer a carpool. In some cases, a rental car may be the only option for carpooling. Some participants will need to volunteer as drivers for the rentals and the cost of the rental car is not covered by Ma’wa Collective.
This is a Beginner Level trip. The hikes planned are slightly challenging but can be done by those with strong physical fitness and an ability to complete a 4-6 mile hike in consecutive days.
Itinerary highlights include:
* Our itinerary may be subject to slight changes throughout the weekend due to delays, weather, or factors outside of our control.
- All Deposits and Installment Payments are NON-REFUNDABLE
