Please note there is a minimum of three participants required per departure date. Do not make travel arrangements until you have received confirmation from Rare Earth Adventures.

Portland International Airport (PDX) is the closest airport and from there you can rent a car and drive to the REA office in Troutdale: 906 Corporate Drive, Troutdale OR 97060. You can safely park your car overnight at the office, and REA can help with travel arrangements to the office if needed.

You'll be winter camping on the snow in two or three person Marmot 4-season tents. Rare Earth will set up the tents and provide cookware and other camping essentials. Please bring your own sleeping bag, pad, and overnight essentials.

No problem! Solo travelers are welcome and encouraged. If you would like your own tent there is no additional fee, however you'll have to carry a bit more weight.

Rare Earth Adventures will provide all meals and hot beverages. Let the guides know if you have any food restrictions prior to the trip.

You only need to bring cash for gratuities, at your discretion.

You'll be provided a full packing list upon booking. Snowshoes and group gear are included in the cost of the package, but you'll be responsible for your personal clothing, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad. Some items may be available for loan on a first come first serve basis.

You do not need prior snowshoe experience to enjoy this adventure, but you should be in good physical shape and understand that you'll be outside in the winter elements for full days (be prepared to travel in winter conditions three miles each day). If you are physically and mentally prepared, and have proper clothing, you'll have no problems participating in this adventure.

We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for all trips. Travel insurance allows you to seek reimbursement if you are forced to cancel your trip for unforeseeable reasons, or if you need to cover medical help, emergency transport, and/or theft or accidental damage while traveling. For travel insurance, we recommend VisitorsCoverage.

We recommend you visit the local government websites where you plan to travel and review the required documentation for entry, current restrictions, and general recommendations for travel within the area. We encourage you to also visit your home country's embassy website if you are traveling to a foreign country. Requirements can change rapidly. Please be sure you stay abreast of the requirements and restrictions for anywhere you plan to visit. You can also enroll in the U.S. government’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) and you will be sent updates if the situation in your destination changes. You can find the program link at https://step.state.gov/.
