The Ozette Triangle is an incredibly beautiful trail that winds through lush forests, along stunning beaches, and past rugged sea stacks. With panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Olympic Mountains, it's truly a breathtaking and unforgettable hike.


We'll spend three days, two nights along the trail, hiking a little over 3 miles a day. Our short hiking days give us plenty of time to deepen our connect with nature and mindfulness practice.


This trail is a great trail for beginners or those looking for an easier backpacking trip. In total we will cover, 9.5 miles roundtrip, 600 ft)

MINDFULNESS & YOGA

Our yoga sessions are designed to help you connect with your body, breath, and the world around you, while also building strength, flexibility, and balance. 


You'll also have the chance to participate in a guided meditation session, designed to help quiet your mind, reduce stress, and cultivate a deeper sense of inner peace and clarity. 


Whether you're an experienced yogi or new to the practice, the yoga and mindfulness portion of the retreat is sure to leave you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and inspired.

MEALS

During our time together we'll enjoy simple and delicious backcountry meals. With lighters in hand, we'll use our camp stoves to warm up our meals. 


Designed for both convenience and nutrition, we'll use thoughtfully selected dehydrated dinners to ensure you have the sustenance needed to refuel after a day of exploration. For breakfast, we keep it simple yet nourishing, offering hearty oatmeal to kickstart your morning adventures.

Testimonials

Stop overthinking and just do it!

"The trip is well organized and I got meet so many awesome people. I love the smaller group size which made the experience more intimate. I was pushed out of my comfort zone which will make me more confident in my next backpacking trips.

Stop overthinking and just do it! No regrets. SMM people are very supportive and welcoming. They also provide gear if you need it, a great way to try out backpacking without committing."
