Climbing

Adventure Travel

Whether you’ve never climbed before or are a high-altitude veteran, the Adventure Collection member companies have trips designed just for you. If you want to begin to learn the technical art of climbing or take your skill to the next level, we offer a number of adventures of varying lengths that will teach you the fine points of rock climbing in Patagonia, the Rockies, Arizona, Wyoming or British Columbia; you can also experience canyoneering on a journey into Canyonlands and Arches National Park. Other Adventure Collection expeditions take travelers on exhilarating journeys that require fitness and endurance but no special technical expertise: to the tops of storied Mount Kilimanjaro and Yosemite’s majestic Half Dome.
