Colorado: Private Backpacking Trips
Individual & Group Rates
Service Description
All adventures begin with the unknown, the unexplored, and the unexpected. But they also begin with searching, researching, and plenty of sidetracking. That’s where I come in. I meticulously scour areas for offbeat excursions so you don’t have to, curating unique experiences by highlighting the distinctive features of a region. From start to finish, I’m with you every step of the way. Your private guided backpacking trip in the Colorado Rockies begins with a hand-picked itinerary with logistics tailored specifically for the needs, preferences, and skill levels of you and your crew, ensuring a perfect fit. Before embarking, I'll send you a general itinerary and pack list and will assist you in sourcing and renting any equipment or gear you may need. At the trailhead, we'll review the itinerary, safety guidelines, and what to expect on the trail. On the trail, I'll work with you and your group directly, guiding you with tips, tricks, and precautions to ensure a safe and successful trip. I'm committed to responsible and sustainable adventure tourism. As a Leave No Trace Level 1 Trainer, I'm passionate about educating participants on LNT principles and promoting responsible environmental practices. Lastly, your safety is my top priority. For each trip, I develop a well-defined emergency action plan, tailored to our group and route, including a detailed itinerary, waypoints, trailheads, and local emergency response contact information. By the end of our excursion, you'll be ready to take on new trails with confidence and a broadened skill set, helping you to bring the next far out peak within reach.
