Ready for an adventure? Call of the Wild is ready to help.
Call of the Wild has been planning and guiding women only adventure travel since 1978. Their trips range from easily accessible to exotic and challenging: think two days of hiking through Alpine Wildflowers at Lake Tahoe with each day landing in a Soft Bed, or 11 days of trekking hut-to-hut in Patagonia … and everything in between. The list of possibilities is intoxicating. Seriously, it’s fun just to browse their website. Snowshoeing in the sequoias? Walking in Wales? Backpacking on Mt. Whitney?
And we love the back story. Call of the Wild began in 1978, when founder Carole Latimer was fired from a secretarial job. To support herself, she pursued her passion and began organizing and leading women's wilderness trips in California's High Sierra Mountains. "The phone started ringing and hasn't stopped," she says.
The guides at Call of the Wild? Women. The guests? Women. Kate Reid, who currently runs Call of the Wild, believes in the power of all women’s travel. "Traveling with all women is a unique and exhilarating experience. Women guides leading women from diverse backgrounds into places they never thought possible is powerful - and lots of fun and the same time. Not only is it good for the soul, it's good for the waistline. You'll laugh so much your abs will get a great workout. Moms will return home from their trip ready for the days challenge ahead, knowing they just did things they didn't ever think they could do otherwise."
Sounds good to me.
