Plenty of new and unexpected things will enter your life and you will be able to learn how to deal with them, and integrate and apply what you have learned in your everyday life at home.
You will spend 12 weeks to prepare for this challenge and lay the foundation for achieving this particular goal.
You will experience nature in a very special new and intensive way. In doing so, you will dive into nature in a previously unknown form. You will drink filtered water from mountain streams, prepare your food on a gas cooker, have everything you need in your backpack … for 8 to 9 days each … and much more.
You will be pushed to your physical and athletic limits, and we will prepare you for that. The team will support you should you feel bad and you will help the others when they need support.
This trail lets you dive into a very special experience away from civilization and will enable your transformation. You will meet new people with a similar mindset as yours, and so the shared experience will be even more intensive.
We will need 12 days and 11 nights for the trip and will spend all nights under “almost” open skies in tents, in the middle of the forest, at picturesque little lakes, close to the ridge and far away from civilization. We will have the food with us for half of the trail.

This is a very special dream path, on which we may abduct you. Every day offers new surprises for you. From lake shores, on dry paths through pine forests to the impressive landscape of “Desolation Wilderness”. At this point, the Rim Trail and the famous Pacific Crest Trail share the same hiking trail.
This is an adventure trip and the elements and components mentioned above offer many opportunities to broaden your own boundaries. Nevertheless, every day will bring further small surprises and unexpected things. Special navigation, discoveries in nature or particular experiences that will keep us busy in different ways throughout the day.
You will hike 266 km in almost unspoiled nature and through all participants, having a similar mindset as yours, this dream trail will be a unique experience.
After arriving in the capital Reno and the last preparations, a shuttle bus will take us to the trail entry on the east side of the lake. From here, we will travel between 10 and 30 kilometers per day in unspoiled nature, with constantly recurring views over the stunning lake.
We fly together from Frankfurt to Reno. A 10 to 12 hour flight. Afterwards we will rest in a three-star hotel.
In Reno, we will spend the whole day here preparing for the upcoming dream trail. We will complete the equipment, we will buy missing food and acclimatize a bit. And we will send a part of our provisions to our ReSupply-Stop.
After a substantial breakfast, we will be taken by shuttle bus from Reno to the east coast of Lake Tahoe. A 90-minute drive that will let us experience nature at its best.
