Group Size

Max 8 people

Duration

8 days

Spend 8 days enjoying Colorado and all its splendor. First we will hike among the pines and wildflowers in and around Rocky Mountain National Park, taking a day to climb Rocky’s iconic granite. Then we’ll head into the backcountry to explore the quiet side of the mountains for 3 days and 2 nights, backpacking among towering walls and sleeping under classic Western skies. 

After showering up and taking some time in town, we’ll head north to Fort Collins to raft the beautiful Cache la Poudre River.

This trip truly has everything we love about being in the mountains. Join us for a classic Colorado summer!

Day 1

Your trip begins in Denver, where we’ll pick you up at the airport. Then it’s off to the Indian Peaks Wilderness, with a quick stop in Estes Park.

Days 2-3

Rock climbing in the high country is the ultimate Colorado rush. You’ll learn basic knots and rope skills, as well as challenge yourself on fine Colorado granite. The next day is dedicated to exploring Rocky’s lakes.

Days 4-6

It’s time to go deep into the backcountry as we backpack into remote mountain lakes. Views like ours are worth working for, and work we will! This is consistently ranked as our participants favorite part of the trip.

Day 7

After cleaning up from backpacking, we'll head north for a gorgeous paddle down the canyon of the Cache la Poudre River.

Day 8

The trip comes to an end with our return to Denver. Don’t be sad, though. There’s always next year!
