Spend your Labor Day weekend on a curated alpine expedition designed for families, adventurers, and anyone who craves an authentic, premium outdoor experience.

We begin with a relaxed evening under the iconic boulders of Alabama Hills, then climb high into the remote Coyote Flats plateau (11,000 ft) — a place of shimmering alpine lakes, sweeping Sierra vistas, and star-filled skies.

With dedicated trail leadership, intimate group size, and a Saturday night community potluck dinner, this trip blends the thrill of true off-roading with the warmth of the WOR community.
