Description

Join us for an exclusive evening at MEC as we reveal the most ambitious expeditions in our history.

We are gathering at the Queen Street flagship to pull back the curtain on our upcoming Epics. These journeys represent the very best of the backcountry, featuring some of the most extraordinary scenery that the province has to offer but is only reached through extraordinary effort. From three-day treks to six-day canoe circuits through ancient waterways, these are the trips we have been dreaming about all winter.

The itineraries we are launching include routes we have never run before, many of which would be nearly impossible to organize alone. This is your chance to get the first look at the dates and details before they go live about a week later.

If you are curious about pushing your limits in the wild or just want to meet the people you will be sharing a campfire with, then this social is the perfect place to start. Whether you're a seasoned tripper or looking to transition from day hikes to multi-day adventures, you will find plenty of inspiration here.

Meet Jeff from Maps By Jeff

We're delighted to be joined by Ontario's favourite map-maker, Jeff. You'll have the chance to meet the man behind the maps in person and add to your collection.

Sample food from our newest partner - Wanderlust Kitchen

The folks at Wanderlust Kitchen will be joining to share their backcountry meals.

What to Expect on a WU Trip

Is a Wilderness Union Trip Right for You?
We offer a unique alternative to commercial tours. We don't just show you incredible natural wonders, we teach you to become confident in nature so you can discover the life changing magic of the outdoors. You'll love it here if:
- You want to make real friends, not just small talk with strangers
- You prefer "off the beaten path" over "all-inclusive resort"
- You're happy to pitch in and learn new skills (e.g., helping with camp setup or group tasks)
- You value the journey and the company as much as the destination

Who Else Will Be There
WU is aimed at a younger generation of outdoor lovers who don't see themselves represented in traditional hiking clubs and our members are typically 20-40 years old. Whether you're brand new to the outdoors or have plenty of experience, you'll find something for you.

Our Guides
All of our guides are highly qualified, passionate outdoor lovers, just like you. They love to share their knowledge and will help you see our destinations in another light, often teaching you something along the trail.
