Reese Witherspoon threw it back to her 2014 movie “Wild” this week when she took her 12-year-old son, Deacon, for a few days of rest and relaxation in British Columbia. The “Legally Blonde” star traded the director’s chair and red carpets for tents and a whole lot of greenery. (Photo: Instagram)

Reese took her son with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe — and a recent elementary school grad — on a special mother-son trip. Daughter Ava, 16, and 3-year-old Tennessee, her son with current hubby Jim Toth, stayed behind for this one. “And we’re off,” the actress captioned the pic. “Our adventure into the wilderness begins! #HikingTrip #HereWeGo.” (Photo: Instagram)

Reese rode on the backs of elephants in her 2011 movie “Water for Elephants,” so riding horses is not a problem. “Made a new friend today!” she exclaimed. “#HikingPartner #AdventureTime.” (Photo: Instagram)

Reese is a bit of a social butterfly, so of course she wanted to hear from her followers about their adventures. “That first step into nature,” she wrote. “Who else is out there hiking and exploring the world!?” (Photo: Instagram)

They weren’t roughing it too much — notice the beautiful bouquet to greet Reese and Deacon in front of their tent? We’d say they were glamping. “Let’s do this! Into the wilderness we go,” the Oscar winner captioned it. (Photo: Instagram)

One day the two burned some energy in the pristine wilderness. “Hiking an alpine glacier. These views …,” Reese wrote beside this snap. (Photo: Instagram)

“Wow, what an adventure! Thanks to all the great people we met in #Canada,” Reese wrote as she and Deacon prepared to go back to a life of red carpets, paparazzi, and, soon enough for Deacon, junior high! “We had the best time exploring the wilderness in beautiful BC! Until next time … #StayWILD.” (Photo: Instagram)
