Guided Tours
Up North Guided Tours is focused on you, your expectations, and your outdoor adventure in the Cable Area with us whether it be by fat bike, snowshoe and/or canoe! Our dedication to you is in our comprehensive support services, outdoor safety preparedness, backcountry knowledge and familiarity which creates memorable off-the-beaten-path outdoor experience, attention on customer service/your experience, high performance equipment, and lead guide who knows how to provide challenge without going overboard while remaining flexible and adaptive on-the-fly as circumstances dictate. We have an extensive playbook of tour routes and idyllic views that people do not find on their own, as we strive to get you out of the periphery and into the backcountry!
Our guided tours are custom tailored to your interests, experience, and physical condition. We are not just talking about taking you on routes that are appropriate for your skill level. Your tour is private to you/your group since we do not put different groups together on the the same tour. We listen to and come through with what you want, as some want views while others want terrain diversity, some want the secret trails/spots, and others want personalized instruction. We are flexible and do cater to small groups of family, friends and colleagues who are looking for supported, outdoor bonding/team building opportunities!
Your Guide
Your guide, Josh Washlow, has been a silent sports participant in the region since 1981, has been riding off-road bikes since 1983, and is a Wilderness First Responder.

His philosophy is to promote group outdoor fun and enjoyment without compromising safety. Josh’s goal is your safe outdoor enjoyment!
