About this trip

Dreams do come true!! Join Nancy Wind, Certified Health Coach and founder of PeaksandPoses Trail Yoga and Outdoor Adventure for an amazing retreat in one of the most beautiful places in the United States. PeaksandPoses is heading into the wilderness of Glacier National Park, otherwise known as the Crown of the continent. Rugged mountains, pristine forests, spectacular views, and over 25 glaciers await us. Glacier has been known as a hiker’s paradise and our memories and photos will reflect this. This trip will revolve around hiking, yoga, connecting, and allowing ourselves to spend time in nature to transform us in ways we don't even know yet! We'll hike daily and practice yoga, either at home or in the park.  We'll also find time to meditate, explore the area around Whitefish and chill out by the river or our fire pit. 


Oh, yea! This is gonna be the trip of our new decade!!! 

I'm so excited to be planning this trip as it was canceled in the summer of 2020 due to COVID. 


Accommodations

I always try to find the most magnificent homes. This summer our contemporary home is in the town of Whitefish (a well-known ski town) and nestled at the edge of Glacier National Park. Our home covers 2,200 square feet and is situated on 70 acres of open fields and on the bank of the Stillwater River. We also have expansive views of the mountains. Bedroom occupancy varies and one bedroom has an attached bath.  Our home has a fully stocked kitchen with an open floor plan. This year our stove sits on an island so we can hang and watch Majid our chef, cook if that interests you.  Our home also hosts a common room and an in-home theater. It is situated on a river that we access from our private dock where we can fish, swim or boat (we have a raft with an electric motor!!). We can also relax in our secluded outdoor hot tub (becoming a trademark of PeaksandPoses’ retreats) or make some campfires in the fire pit. 


Dining

All of our meals will be prepared on sight by our chef Majid. Lunch will be taken on the trail. Our meals are plant-based with inspiration and creativity from the wisdom of Ayurveda and Majid's mom's Persian cooking. We will also focus on locally sourced food when possible. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated. 


Itinerary

More details will follow once you sign up. 

The closest airport is Kalispell, Montana. 

Yup, Montana. Woohoo!!!


Hiking

There will be a daily advanced beginner to moderate hike. You should expect at least 5 miles of hiking a day. Surfaces will vary with rolling or mountainous terrain with some steep ascents/descents and uneven trails. Elevation gain will also vary. 


Trip Cancellations and Refunds

I know this is a common question people think about when signing up for a trip. It can be a big expense and you have the best intentions but somehow it's not going to work out. I want you to know that my heart and soul goes into planning our trips and I have payment deadlines to meet. Also,  as it gets closer to the retreat it's challenging to fill your spot.  For these reasons, I have established the following cancellation/refund policy.  Please make sure you can commit to this date or just sign up as it gets closer to the date (just cross your fingers that there is room). 


1. With notice of at least 90 days prior to the scheduled arrival date, you will be entitled to the full amount already paid minus your deposit of $500.

2. With notice of at least 60 days prior to the scheduled arrival date, you will be entitled to a refund less 50% of the total cost already paid.

3. With notice of 31 days from the scheduled arrival date, you will be entitled to a refund less 75% of the total cost already paid. 

4. With notice of 30 days or less prior to the arrival date, there will be no money refunded.

I am a four season peak bagger in New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. I am exploring the Adirondacks of New York as well as Colorado 14'ers. My longest backpacking trip was 18 days on the John Muir Trail with a grand finale hiking Mt. Whitney! I am a Certified Health Coach and yoga instructor leading people to uplevel their health and reinvent themself. I am the most content outside hiking with my friends. I enjoy staying active through yoga, biking, x-country skiing and cooking seasonal plant based food.

I had a wonderful trip to Shenandoah! I loved our cozy cabins, our meals were delicious and plentiful. (Thank you Majid) I enjoyed our yoga classes, the hiking, and the activities that Nancy led us in to help us get to know each other and ourselves better. I enjoyed making new friends and had such an awesome roommate. So grateful to Nancy for leading this trip. Thank you!

Another amazing retreat with Peaks and Poses. So well planned and orchestrated. Challenging hikes, Majid’s crazy delicious plant based meals, morning yoga and 5 Tibetans, tons of photos and more new friends. So grateful! Nancy Wind - I’ll go anywhere with you! White water rafting up north and hiking in Colorado is next. I’ll be there!

This trip to Glacier National Park was on my bucket list for years, and not only did it not disappoint, it exceeded my expectations beyond anything I could have imagined. To be honest, you'd have to be quite the crotchety soul to not find joy in the jaw-dropping beauty of GNP, but Nancy and Majid made the trip so much more. Sure there were the incredible meals, the energizing yoga sessions, and the soothing meditations, but there was also a focus on nurturing connection. I came to this retreat not knowing anyone else attending, yet I left feeling like I had grown another family. I highly recommend any Peaks and Poses retreats!

Donna, thank you for your thoughtful and heartfelt review. I'm so happy that we reconnected and are part of a loving and fun family! The mountains are magical and when we immerse ourselves in them, their is so much growth. Loved having you on our trip and enjoyed our hikes together and of course your photos. Namaste <3

OMG!!! Every day was awe inspiring. The park and its beauty holds pockets of wonder waiting to be explored. Each day held adventures that were different from each other and yet equally inspiring! Combine the hikes in the park with spiritual appreciation of all earths wonders and a touch of mind body wellness, one comes away feeling cleansed. Nancy’s expertise in connecting to the earth through breath, movement and community leaves you feeling inspired to continue long after the trip is over. Nancy thank you for all you do!

This was a wonderful experience and the most carefully planned retreat I have been on. Nancy scheduled thrilling hikes and beautiful yoga and meditation sessions. We had free time as well. Our chef created delicious meals which we all enjoyed. Our accommodations were comfortable with space for gatherings indoors and out. I can’t wait for the next retreat with Nancy.
