Description

Take in the changing colors and immerse yourself, and your camera, in the new season!

What to Expect

For the weather forecast in this area, check out this link to the NOAA website.

TRTA treks are group treks, and we do our best to keep the group together. All TRTA guides dedicate a great deal of their time throughout the year sharing their passion for the outdoors. They are well-trained and experienced. Please respect the decisions made on the trail.

It is also critical that you sign up for a trek that is appropriate for you and your skill set. This request is for the safety of you, the group, and our leadership. Read the trek description carefully, and sign up for treks that you are capable of participating in and can enjoy.
