the perfect balance of

refreshed & utterly exhausted

Once it’s all burned up, you won’t get anymore. Daylight that is. And so much more.

Burning Daylight Expeditions creates small, individualized backpacking expeditions that get off the trail and away from the crowds. With our application based system, we aim to create expeditions with a supportive atmosphere, healthy food, and big days that leave you feeling refreshed and utterly exhausted.

meet our team

After a combined 20 years of experience instructing people in the backcountry, working for dozens of outdoor education and guiding companies, we did not find an ethos that fully inspired the harmony of science, magic, and grit that is the wildflower to our hillside. Burning Daylight Expeditions is an accumulation of our invaluable professional and life experiences and is centered around the idea that to care about a place means to know it, and to know it means to learn about it. We educate for a deeper understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
