Trips are categorized as easy, moderate or challenging. Definitely challenging is REI Adventures' ascension to 18,190 feet on Mount Everest. It's among 80 tours the Washington-based company operates. The composition of adventure-tour groups varies. That seems to be a component of soft-adventure group travel.

As active travelers venture beyond familiar state and national parks, and especially as exotic destinations become more desirable, logistical concerns make it easier to rely on a tour packager. Also, we schedule cultural activities that reflect where you are in the world. On our tours, you don't walk just for the sake of walking. Every walk has a purpose, an educational component. And most of our guides know about places that might be hard to find on your own.
