Dietary requests (food)
We often get asked if we can accommodate dietary restrictions. The short answer is yes, if we know about them. Please let your tour leader know at the start of the trip if you have any restrictions so they can tailor their food shop. E.g., Vegetarian, no pork, etc. In some instances, we may ask for your assistance should it be outside our area of knowledge.
Why can't I see more dates?
We are only planning to offer this trip once a year. Making the journey to Sleeping giant is not for the faint hearted. We like to think of this trip as an annual migration for us. It requires a lot of planning, booking, energy and effort to make this trip happen.
How does the deposit work?
To reserve a space there are two options, you can pay for the trip outright OR you can pay a deposit of 10%. Full payment is required 30 days before trip departure, that date is July 27. If the trip is not paid by this date, we will open up your space and it will be subject to availability there after. For the remaining balance, we will send you two notifications, one at 40 days out, and one at 30 days out.
How many people per tent?
If you would like your own tent for two people, there is a supplemental charge per tent. If you would like your own tent (for one person), there is a supplemental charge. By using more tents, we have to do more work after to clean them. You are welcome to bring your own gear if you want, we just request that it is clean and free from any biohazards.
We usually aim for 3 people per tent. We use 4-person Eureka tents as or standard for this arrangement, which are mostly 4-season. When not requested, tents are divided by gender. In the case where adults want to share of different genders, we will do our best to accommodate requests if everyone knows each other. We will not place mixed gender adults together who do not previously know each other. There may be some tents with fewer than 3 people due to the way the numbers land. Either way, 3 people to a 4-person tent is still very spacious. If you want 4 people in a tent as that's your friend group size, that works too.
