    The best way to get information is to contact Outward Bound directly because each course varies. However, as a former OB participant, if you are generally fit and able to acclimate to high altitudes, a trip through the Colorado Rockies is possible.

    rp,

    it's about 2 pages long, but basically you can give yourself 3 tests to pass before you go off on the trip. you should start training at least 8 weeks before the trip. and then be able to (test #1) walk 3 miles on hilly terrain in 45 minutes or less. test 2#: run 3 miles in 35 minutes or less. test #3: swim 1/4 mile in 10 minutes or less. work up to 40 - 45 minutes of continuous running. etc.
