Wilderness Trekking

I primarily serve clients that want to feel totally hardcore, like Shackleton, but don’t want to drink their pee. The wilderness of the Northern Rocky Mountains provides all of this and more.

Wilderness Trekking

I am a professional guide for Backpacking Light, and offer wilderness trekking guide services for those who wish to explore wild places in ultralight style in partnership with land management agencies through which Backpacking Light has been authorized for commercial guiding activities. My particular areas of specialty are the alpine (mountain) environments of the Northern U.S. Rockies and the deserts and canyons of the Southwestern United States.

Trip Types

  • Overnight/Weekend (1-2 nights, Montana)
  • Expeditions (5-10 nights – U.S., Canada, and Alaska)
  • Once-in-a-Lifetime Treks (14+ nights, worldwide)

Locations

In addition to offering standard CONUS-based locations each year, I am able to offer customized international trips with advanced planning, with commercial partnerships in place for trekking in the northern/Arctic mountain environments of Alaska, Canada, the Yukon, Iceland, Greenland, Siberia, and Scandinavia.

Modes of Travel

In addition to walking, I offer trips in all seasons and over all types of terrain, with opportunities for:

  • Packrafting
  • Snowshoeing
  • Nordic/Backcountry Skiing

Testimonial

I cannot sing high enough praises for Ryan Jordan! He has planned spectacular wilderness backpacking treks for my friends and I since 2005. The trips have been challenging (just the right amount), incredibly scenic, included expertly chosen off-trail portions and beautiful, secluded campsites. He perfectly tailored our trips to meet all our desires and expectations. I highly recommend Ryan! – Matt Vanderhoek, Madison, Wisconsin
