Our Story

We've explored a lot of the country and spent a lot of time linking up the best tidbits. Our self-guided expeditions follow unique and challenging routes through breathtaking countryside while supplying you with recommended itineraries, resupply logistics, little-known wonders, and the best food, beer, and coffee along the way.

Who is Limberlost?

Founded in Portland, Oregon, 2014. We are adventure seekers. Route finders. Collaborators. Lovers of fresh air, rich dirt, and a campfire that always blows the other way.

Share a richness of life

The satisfaction of slogging up a scree field to be rewarded with an unexpected vista and miles of flowing singletrack. The exhilaration of a remote desert Owyhee whitewater canyon. The tug of a Metolius River trout slurping down a fly you tied yourself. Piping hot coffee and a sunrise over Smith Rock. And wine grown from Willamette Valley grapes paired with a fresh beet salad grown from the same glacial till.

Join us

We’re excited. Excited to show you waterfalls few have ever seen. Excited to swim in their pools. Excited to challenge you, challenge ourselves, and high five each other when it’s over. Excited to inspire. Inspire and reignite that twinkle in your eye, that itch to call in sick, and that desire that makes us unique: the desire to explore

We are Limberlost

The satisfaction of slogging up a scree field to be rewarded with an unexpected vista and miles of flowing singletrack. The exhilaration of a remote desert Owyhee whitewater canyon. The satisfactory tug of a Metolius River trout slurping down a fly you tied yourself. Piping hot coffee for sunrise over Smith Rock. Cold farmhouse ale after a long dusty day on Mount Hood. Or wine grown from Willamette Valley grapes paired with a fresh beet salad grown from the same glacial till. And a fine steak from the neighbors down the road.
