Wasatch Wilderness Camp and Climbing — Three days in alpine meadows
This three-day alpine program places a base camp in a meadow ringed by boulders and abundant alpine life.

The operator’s structured description emphasizes that participants should be confident with basic climbing techniques as a pre-requisite; the trip is built for climbers who want immersive time in the mountains rather than single-day outings.
Rates are provided by the operator and are preserved here for planning: listed package rates appear in the structured description.
