Our Backpacking Trips
Go backpacking in Yosemite, Tahoe, Pt Reyes, Lassen, and the Lost Coast with the professional guides of the OAC.
Professional guides. Delicious meals. Explore the best parks in California.
The Outdoor Adventure Club is the Bay Area’s most experienced guide service and social club. We’ve safely led thousands of people on backpacking trips throughout the Bay Area and Northern California since 1996. All of our trips are led by professional guides who have been trained in their field, are Wilderness First Responders and love backpacking! We are fully permitted to guide trips in Yosemite National Park, Lassen, Pt Reyes, Pinnacles, and the Lost Coast. Our trips range from relaxing weekend adventures and introductory backpacking trips to multi-day trips for the serious backpacker. Whatever backpacking adventure you are looking for, we’ve got you covered.
When you are on a backpacking trip with the Outdoor Adventure Club, you’ll be well taken care of. Our guides are known for whipping up the best meals in the woods, no freeze dried food on our trips! We are also happy to accommodate your specific dietary needs. We’ll also help you with your gear to make sure you are well prepared before we hit the trail. Join us for an amazing backpacking adventure this season!
