ADVENTURE CHALLENGES AND BACKCOUNTRY XCURSIONS ADVENTURE CHALLENGES AND BACKCOUNTRY XCURSIONS By Wild on the Path are provided as part of our Adventure Project Division. The Adventure Project's provide men, their families to have community with each other and especially those who don't know Christ, with spiritual retreats and events that introduce people to a walk on the wild path of Jesus.. It is an opportunity to enjoy a community of folks who desire to thrive in their personal walk, then in their tribe, and with the people around them. These adventure challenges are what we call 'run what ya brung' events and we mean it! The events are for people who love discovery, exploration, new experiences, community, and the pursuit of God's heart. It is open to all levels of wildness! You can camp in tents, rv's, in a hammock, or off the back of a motorcycle. You might be the family who sleeps in their car, or right on the ground. It's all good! During any event you will find us gathering together, usually around a fire and challenging ourselves to go much deeper in our relationship with Jesus, in our lives, homes, and communities. Below you will find all the information you need to be a part of this Wild on the Path experience.

Backcountry Xcursion Route Information By WIld on the PathINFO: This Xcursion is remote and rustic. It is like taking a trip back in time! That is why we make a multi-day trip out of it when camping out in this remote wilderness. It takes approximately 2.5 hrs to complete the route to our secret campground in one of the most remote and scenic areas of the Pacific Northwest; offering historical points of interest, Old towns and several places for horizon viewing of the Marble, Trinity, and Klamath Mountain Ranges. These are the curviest, most remote, single lane paved roads, all located in the Scott River, Salmon Forks, and Trinity River Canyons. After arriving at our primitive campsite the scenic opportunities of this terrain are rugged and often straight up and down along the roadside. If you are afraid of heights or suffer from vertigo then that this is a choice for the more adventurous traveler. that being said... A Log Truck could drive it!

However the route is more than suitable for all vehicles and even better in SUV's, and 4x4's for anyone wanting a great day trip or Hiking Destination. There are many offshoot adventures on this route that will keep you returning for years to come! On this route many of the roads are in remote areas and reach mid to upper range elevations where road maintenance is minimal or sometime non-existent. You can expect to cover sections of road with some loose rocks, steep drop-offs, and other challenges like maintaining your focus! Road conditions change in each season and based on the recent weather. When you see signs that read, “Roads maybe impassable when wet or icey”, use caution, roads become very slick and can be impassable. You may also encounter sections that have trees or branches, landslides and flashfloods over the road. There are alternate "easier" routes around a few of the most challenging sections when these conditions and weather make travel difficult. Need to Know: Always Fuel previous to your departure! Don't forget camera gear. Thunderstorms are always possible. Be Prepared!

Packing a camping toilet for camping and tenting might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it offers numerous advantages. When camping at a site, there are often sanitary facilities available, but their condition can be uncertain. Having your own camping toilet ensures better hygiene and reduces the risk of coming into contact with germs from other campers. For those opting for a remote camping adventure in the forest or mountains, access to toilets is usually unavailable. Relieving oneself in nature is not only uncomfortable but can also harm the delicate ecosystem depending on the location. Additionally, some regions have legal regulations prohibiting the disposal of any waste, including human excrement. A camping toilet thus provides a comfortable, hygienic camping experience without impacting the environment. |
