TSX Pods

Whatever your life needs more of, you can find it here. An adventure to reconnect with friends; a family vacation off the grid; a getaway with fresh air, good food and exhilaration away from crowds; a life-changing experience. Pull your Pod together and let us help you create a private group, family or youth trek experience customized just for you.

We are now booking multi-night, private TSX Challenge experiences in Grand Canyon National Park, John Muir Wilderness, Kings Canyon National Park, and Sequoia National Park, including to the summit of Mt. Whitney. Custom dates are available for departure from March through November. Groups size may range from 4 to 10 participants. Routes may include any of our TSX Challenge experiences, modified versions or special request destinations within each park. All ages and experience levels welcome, but you must be motivated! Advance registration of at least 4 months is highly recommended as start dates become limited due to permit availability.

Let us help you create the prefect experience, customized just for you. Call us at 925.255.5065 or email us to confirm your dates and book your private TSX Pod experience.
