How is Adult Mountain Quest different than Adult Wilderness Quest?
 

Adult Mountain Quest (AMQ) is a backpacking trip, and participants will carry everything they need for the 13-day quest on their backs up into the mountains. Adult Wilderness Quest (AWQ) will be centered at a basecamp in the forest that is accessed by vehicle — car camping, basically. The main distinction here is that AWQ is designed to be less physically challenging, and AMQ explicitly incorporates the potential difficulty of the trail as a part of the “trials” of the quest.
