Our story
Guides who live for the trail — and lead you to it.
WildPath Adventure Co. started in 2012 with two guides, one old van and a simple promise: take people into the wild the way we would want to be taken — safely, joyfully, and never rushed. Thirteen years later, that promise has guided more than 4,800 guests across the Cascades.
We are still guide-owned, still answer our own phones, and still hand-check every helmet and harness before a trip leaves. When you call WildPath, you talk to the people who will actually be on the mountain with you.

What we stand for
The values under every trailhead
Four principles that have carried us through thirteen seasons of storms, droughts and record snow years.
Safety first
Every guide is WFR-certified, every rope is inspected, every river is scouted. Fun only counts if everyone gets home smiling.
Small groups
Founded by guides in 2012, still run by guides today. We cap day trips at 12 guests so nobody is ever just a number on a rope.
Stewardship
We run leave-no-trace camps, support local trail crews, and donate a dollar of every booking to wilderness restoration.
Excellence
Licensed and permitted on USFS and BLM lands, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 486 guest reviews — and counting.
The people
