Field Notes

See the pictures, read on for the stories.

The latest Instagram pictures rotate through, along with links to their quick stories. But there’s so much more to tell. Some from our own experiences, others that are shared. From young to old, from local to international, the AdvenChair is making the rounds!

“The wild requires that we learn the terrain, nod to all the plants and animals and birds, ford the streams and cross the ridges, and tell a good story when we get home.”

—Gary Snyder

Taking Hannah on a Wanderlust Tours AdvenTour reminded us of why we do this work: because everyone deserves to experience the magic of an epic mountain view in great company.

Thank you to all who made this happen, and to Hannah and Jack for trusting us with your custom AdvenTour and first hike ever!
