Trip Ratings
We want all of our guests to choose a Blue Sky trip that is best suited for them. Each trip has a unique level of Challenge and Comfort, ranging from easier meandering day hikes with 1st class accommodations, to challenging all day outings staying in high mountain refuges, and everything in between. We created the rating system to help you better understand what trip is right for you and your group. Each trip is rated on a scale of 1 to 4.
