Father’s Day Weekend Rock Climbing Trip
Grab your dad or loved one and learn the ropes of outdoor rock climbing. Our destination today is the beautiful French’s Dome located on the side of Mount Hood. Spend the afternoon with our expert guides learning how to rock climb, tying knots and helping others climb through a process called belaying. For those that make it to the top, you’ll be rewarded with endless views of pine forests and the snowy peak of Mount Hood. No experience necessary, just a sense of adventure! This trip is perfect for beginners to more experienced climbers!
