Foraging
Meals are provided when backpacking with Alpine Ridge Adventures, though many choose to supplement their meals with berries, plants and mushrooms found while hiking in the wilderness.
Your guide will help you identify edible flora and which plants to avoid, as well as instruct on how such food can/should be prepared, though such opportunity is not guaranteed and availability may depend on the time of the year. Your guide will also instruct on how to collect such foodstuffs in a sustainable way, so as not to negatively impact the environment.
Keep in mind, that though you guide can help identify edible plants and mushrooms, eating said food is completely at our guests discretion and not recommended if in doubt.
"Never munch on a hunch!"
