Our sag wagon and trailer carries all the camping amenities you need. These include waterproof tents, warm sleeping bags, thick sleeping pads, pillows, bug tents, and comfortable camp chairs. Camping does not mean a lack of hygiene either. We even carry with us a portable toilet and shower!
When your day in the saddle is done, you dine in a screened tent and enjoy delicious meals such as local salmon prepared by your trip leader.
