Item Description

This item is a rare opportunity for four people to join a Saguaro National Park Ranger for a summer, or early fall, weekend expedition to Manning Camp.  You'll be housed for two nights in the park's rustic seasonal tent/cabins (usually available to park staff and researchers only), and you'll have all your food and other necessities provided or packed-up by mule (although weight limits will apply).  Each participant will need to be physically fit -- as the 10-mile hike to the cabin is strenuous -- but the views, and the experience, will be well worth it!  Day One will be your Ranger-guided hike up to Manning Camp;  Day Two will be a full day at your leisure;  Day Three will be the return hike down the mountain, and back to saguaros and civilization.  This package for four people includes two nights rustic accommodations at Manning Camp, two breakfasts and two dinners for each participant, as well as potable water, solar showers, and toilets available at the Camp.  This package will be available roughly June 1st through mid-to-late September, 2015;  scheduling of the exact dates must be completed at least one month in advance;  availability may be limited by staff availability and fire conditions.
