The inaugural trip of the Aggressive Deer occurred in the midst of the economic collapse of 2008. While the world watched the collapse of Bear Sterns and Lehmans, the adventurers were hiking across one of America's premier national Parks. This was the trip that set the mold for the AD trips.
This was the only Mitch enabled trip. Trip of the bear.
Trip highlight: Sperry Glacier.
Point to point trip.
Birth of the name.
Kings Canyon
Kings Canyon
This is the consensus worst trip of the adventure. It was a comedy of errors born of multiple small mistakes and made worse by rain. We flew into Las Vegas and rented a van to drive through Death Valley. Joel Smith, a staple of every subsequent ADAC trip, made his debut by arriving early, renting the van and then getting into an accident.
The hike itself was likened to a trip through Mordor.

The third AD trip re-established itself the premier trip service for suburban professionals. This was another point to point hike that spent three days hiking toward half dome and then on the ultimate day climbing that icon of the National Park System
Assiniboine

Assiniboine Provincial Park is a hikers park. We helicoptered into a central place for two perfect day trip climbs and then a two day hike out.
