All 13 Mazamas made it to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. While most pictures you see of Mt. Kilimanjaro are at the summit, this is approximately 1,000 ft lower at the Furtwangler Glacier, inside of the rim of the crater, which is typically only accessed via the Western Breach. This group followed the gorgeous, quiet Lemosho Route, up the Western Breach, and arrived at the summit on a beautiful day with nobody else on the top. Thanks again for everyone at the Mazamas.

They came, they climbed, they conquered the 19,000 ft peak. Although they did not get to see Jessica Biel while climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro (only 2 days ahead of them), Erik Jones, Shane “Hello Kitty” Kimzey, Paul Matuch, Mike “Johnny Mountain Sausage” Wigert and dog whisperer Tae Kwon Do expert Shawn Riley all made it to top of Africa’s highest mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro. Thanks guys!

Good friend and intrepid adventurer Louis-Martin Guénette is demonstrating the new art of taking the “Embark” sign as far as you can on a recent trek to Mt. Hood.
Bring one yourself to wherever your travels take you, snap a photo for colorful evidence, and send it to us to enter into a yearly drawing for a variety of gifts we give away every year. Winners will also get 10 percent off their next Embark adventure. Dood. That’s some good savings.
In one of her last snowshoe treks on Mt. Hood, Quebecer Marie-eve Sirois joins the staff of Embark for a classic Glade Trail snowshoe. We will miss Marie and hope she returns to Oregon again.
Do you think this looks bad ass? Wait until you are holding it on the Western Breach of Kilimanjaro, on the remote river trip in Bhutan, or while on a wildlife safari in Botswana.
Also, if you send us a picture with your Embark banner, not only will you receive 10 percent off on your next trip, but you will also be entered into our annual giveaway.

Growing up everybody wanted to be an archaeologist, just like Indiana Jones. Archaeologists have really exciting jobs, right? They hunt for treasure, while also dodging arrows, jumping over pits, being chased by house-size boulders, sliding under closing caves, being chased by tribes, and then swinging on tree limbs out into the water (while also being shot at with arrows and darts). It was Indiana Jones’ adventures that inspired my love for adventure, culture, and world travel, and helped inspire Embark.
A group of Embark’s clients are getting ready for their adventure climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain. We recently received a spoof picture from one claiming that he was getting his gear ready for the mountain. Check this guy out! This is exactly the gear you should not bring on the mountain. Cotton kills! No Leather. You might want to bring the hat and the whip though.
