Big wilderness provides a true sense of perspective.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN LIGHT AND FAST BACKPACKING
Are you an athlete who enjoys outdoor adventures? Want to learn
the latest in lightweight backpacking techniques? Then this course
is for you. Partnering with GoLite and BackpackingLight.com, we
are offering the first authentic lightweight backpacking course in
the world of outdoor education. This adventure starts in the equipment
room as you and your instructors organize your gear and food.
Then the fun begins-shaving the ounces. How light can you go?
Outfitted with 25- to 30-pound packs (10-15 pounds without
food and fuel), you and your coursemates will be off to one of
Wyoming's most remote and wild ranges. You will travel light and
fast, covering miles and enjoying the wilderness as you never
thought imaginable-without the burden of a heavy load. Plan to
learn cutting edge lightweight techniques like cooking one-pot
meals and staying warm and dry with minimal gear while honing
traditional backpacking skills like navigation and Leave No Trace.
After two weeks, you'll leave with the knowledge and skills to plan
and execute your own lightweight adventures.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN
NOLS/ORVIS? WILDERNESS FLY FISHING
The only course at NOLS dedicated solely to fishing, this expedition
is an angler's dream. Orvis? guides will teach you the fly fishing
skills to be an ace on the water while your NOLS instructors
turn you into an outdoor expert. After an intensive two-day
Orvis? fly fishing seminar to help you perfect your cast and learn
to "match the hatch? and read the water, you'll shoulder your pack
and head into the Wind River Mountains for a 20-day wilderness
fishing expedition where cutthroat, brook, brown, golden and rainbow
trout abound.
If you love the mountains and dream of being a fly fishing
guide, this mix of mountain living skills, leadership and angling is
ideal training. Or, simply camp where the big fish are and show up
your friends and family on the next annual fishing trip. Your course
will end on a world-renowned trout-fishing river with an Orvis?certified
guide for six days of personal instruction in drift boat handling,
rowing techniques and big water fishing. By the end of this
30-day course you will be "The Compleat Angler.?
