A TEAM BUILDING HIKE
No TEST HIKES per se in 2024, but in other years elite hike candidates must prove themselves. Two TEST HIKES are required to qualify to take on the most difficult backcountry hike at the destination - In Scotland there will be tough hikes but no super hike. For those not testing it is simply a wonderful destination hike. There's no fee to participate in the hike for those currently in our training program and a modest fee will be charged for others. Get the full experience by taking the bus from Niles. It provides a full emersion team building experience. [see Test Hikes History]
A WONDERFUL DESTINATION HIKE
This is a unique and beautiful destination to hike and has often provided a very challenging mid-season Test Hike. Those that are there to test their progress will get their answer. Those that come for the natural beauty and enjoyment will not be disappointed. A huge glacier dug the lake and pushed up the rocky ridges that form the east and west bluffs.
