There is a minimum of four participants required for each departure to run. Additionally, Beyond the Map operates with permissions from local State Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and other land agencies that govern the Commercial Use Authorizations, and those management agencies can deny access based on various factors in which your guides will have to oblige. Please wait until you receive confirmation from Beyond the Map before making travel arrangements.

Private departures are available with a minimum of four people. A private trip can be customized and offers more flexibility to travel when it suits your group. Please contact our Adventures Team to explore pricing and availability.

All Beyond the Map trips are subject to itinerary changes based on a variety of circumstances beyond their control, including, but not limited to, permit or campsite availability, flash floods, river crossings, wildlife, park or land closures, or other conditions that may deem a location unfit or unsafe for guests. This trip requires a minimum of four people to operate and may be rescheduled or canceled if the minimum requirement is not met. Beyond the Map reserves the right to cancel any trip because of internal reasons including but not limited to inadequate signups or the inability to secure a similar experience in the event of itinerary changes.

The trip begins at Trout Creek Campground and ends near Maupin, Oregon. A shuttle will take the group back to the original starting point. If joining the trip directly from the airport, the closest airport will be in Portland (PDX) followed by a 2.5 hr drive to the meeting location. A shuttle is available to/from Portland Airport for an additional fee. Please contact our Adventures Team to discuss pricing and availability.

Each night will be spent tent camping along the river. Primitive restroom facilities are available at all campsites, however, if you must use the restroom while on the river, you should be prepared to follow Leave No Trace (LNT) principles when using the restroom outdoors. Tents include MSR Elixer 1 or REI Half Dome 2+ or similar. Specific tent sizes and brands may vary based on availability. Please note, cell phone reception is unreliable and electricity is not available throughout most areas of this trip.

There is no additional fee for solo travelers. The trip already includes a tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad. Couples traveling together will be asked to share the same tent when possible due to limitations in the camping sites.

Each group will have a minimum of four and a maximum of 10 participants.

For scheduled tours, the minimum age is 8 years old. However, private tours are able to accommodate children younger than 8 years old on a case-by-case basis. Please contact our Adventures Team for more information.

All meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) are included from dinner on Day 1 to lunch on the final day. Each guide tailors the menu for the specific trip and is extensively trained on camping food handling and meal planning. The goal for meals during physically demanding days is to provide guests with meals that are not only tasty but also packed full of critical carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

For breakfast you can expect items such as oatmeal, eggs, granola, bagels, fruit, etc. To optimize activity time, packed lunches are used that may include sandwiches, granola bars, fruit, chips, etc. Depending on time, you may stop to prepare a full lunch spread. For dinners your guides will prepare a full meal which may include options such as pastas, burritos, and more. In addition, your guide will provide an assortment of trail mix, snacks, and dried fruits to eat at your own discretion during the activities.

Beyond the Map can accommodate vegan, vegetarian, kosher, and non-gluten diets, and will make adjustments for food allergies. These and other special dietary requests require at least two weeks advance notice and may require an additional fee.
