"The wilderness navigation webinar was incredibly helpful! I feel much more confident planning my solo hikes now. The instructors were fantastic and explained everything clearly. Before, I was always hesitant to venture off marked trails, but now I feel equipped to explore more freely and safely. The practical tips and interactive Q&A session were invaluable. I especially appreciated the section on using a compass in conjunction with a map – it really demystified the process. Thanks to Summit Treks, I'm looking forward to many more adventurous hikes!"
David Lee
"I attended the webinar just before my backpacking trip to Yosemite, and it made a huge difference. I was able to navigate trails I would have avoided before. Highly recommend Summit Treks! Yosemite's trails can be challenging, and knowing how to confidently read a map and use a compass transformed my experience. I navigated to viewpoints and hidden gems I would have otherwise missed. The webinar content was directly applicable to my hike, and I felt so much more secure knowing I had these skills. The guides were knowledgeable and made complex topics easy to grasp. I'm already planning to sign up for another webinar from Summit Treks – their expertise is top-notch!"
