Seek the Clearwater

Journey without to seek the clear waters within.

Seek the Clearwater with us

Friday, July 7th - Sunday, July 9th, 2023

Do you ever feel like you can’t quite catch up to yourself? Like your days run together and you’re always just a little bit tired no matter how much sleep you get? Maybe it’s time to Seek the Clearwater.

Seek the Clearwater is a 3-day immersion in nature to reset our mental, emotional, and spiritual frequencies. Using the routine of the trail, and the framework of a traditional rite of passage, we’ll spend 3 days rediscovering the natural rhythm within us as we replace the hectic patterns of our everyday lives with the steady practice of hiking, camping, and journaling.

This trek is not designed to be grueling or overly challenging. It is an interruption of our technology driven, disconnected lives; however, it does consist of hiking steadily for three days with 20 to 40 pounds on our backs, setting up and tearing down camp, and gathering firewood. We’ll hike two days out and one day back, building up our strength and catching our stride as we go.


In the tabs below you’ll find more details on our program schedule, a packing list, registration forms, and payment options.

Some of these forms will include authorization for Ridgerunner Outfitters, LLC to serve as our licensed Idaho Outfitter and Guide. Ridgerunner Outfitters has been guiding hunts, packing trips, and family vacations in the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest for many years. Along with support for the journey we’re on, they provide exceptional experience and personal knowledge of the trails we’ll be on.
