Guided backpacking adventures on America's Triple Crown Trails.
No backpacking experience required — experience the magic of long-distance trail life without having to thru-hike thousands of miles.
You Don't Need Experience. You Just Need a Place to Start.
Triple Crown Treks was built for the hikers who crave something real — a place to start, to connect, and to feel alive again. My fully guided section hikes on the Pacific Crest Trail teach you everything you need to know, from pitching your tent and filtering water to resupplying food and trusting your own two feet.
But what makes these treks special isn't just the trail skills — it's the trail family. You'll laugh, hike, and grow alongside an incredible group of people who, by the end of the week, start to feel like home. Whether you've never camped before or you're dreaming of your first thru-hike, you'll leave the mountains feeling grounded, confident, and deeply connected.

Two Pacific Crest Trail experiences, built for different starting points.
What Makes Us Different?
Most guided treks do everything for you. We do things with you — because the best way to learn backpacking is by actually living it, together.
Learn As You Go
Every trail skill is taught hands-on, in the moment you need it — so you leave with real, practical confidence, not just a checklist.
Guided by Real Thru-Hikers
Every guide has thru-hiked these trails themselves — you're learning from lived experience, not a manual.
No Pretense, Just Trail
No porters, no glamping — just honest, empowering trekking that keeps it real and accessible.
Welcoming Spaces
Join a co-ed or women-only group and feel supported, seen, and safe at every step.

Hikers, In Their Own Words
“I met 6 strangers. We spent 5 days together in the wilderness, tired and stinky. By the end of the 5 days, we were family and I was looking for anyway to hold on to all of them. I will never be the same. Thank you all, especially Katie!”

“I absolutely loved going on my first backpacking trip with Katie! She was so understanding and helpful whenever I had any questions! I can't wait to see what future hikes she does and hopefully join those as well!”

“I was expecting to have fun with some outdoor time but ended up experiencing the world with an incredible group that changed my life! As a new adult it's easy to forget how important play is and Katie facilitated the perfect trip for me to play, learn, and get outside on a budget - with the added bonus of having made new forever friends ❤️ Not only will I be delving into a new hobby I'm feeling more comfy with from now on, but I'll DEFINITELY be signing up for another trek with TripleCrownTreks!!!”

PCT · October 2025 Trek
I Had Camped Once Before Hiking the PCT.
I started the Pacific Crest Trail at 22 with almost no backpacking experience — I learned everything as I went. It was hard, humbling, and completely life-changing. Now I guide others through that first step so they don't have to figure it out alone.
The Trails Give Us a Lot. We Believe In Giving Something Back.
Triple Crown Treks is committed to contributing roughly 10% of net profits toward Pacific Crest Trail stewardship and conservation, plus an annual guide-led trail magic trip for hikers on the PCT.
