Background:

We designed our guided service for groups of 2 or more who want to explore the wilderness with the knowledge and expertise of a private guide. Our guides are trained in wilderness education and safety and provide a more in depth understanding of the geography, history, wildlife and vegetation of the local area. We will plan an itinerary that meets your group's goals and objectives. We have a multitude of different hikes and locations in the park from which to choose. Whether your focus is on wildlife vieiwing, majestic vistas, or geology, we have a trip that meets your needs. We will also plan based upon your group's time requirements, physical fitness level, and desired level of exertion or challenge.

Our guided and educational programs allow for increased education and dialogue about the area. It also provides an additional level of travel safety and knowledge in prevention of injury and altitude sickness. Our guides reduce the many risks that can be associated with mountain travel, such as misinterpreting terrain and weather and/or losing one's bearings. Colorado is known for weather that changes quickly and dramatically. Being lost in a thunderstorm or summer snow storm can pose a real danger and certainly isn't much fun.

Participants will require no technical gear or equipment. Please refer to the What to Bring page. Our main goal is for you to have a safe trip and the best experience possible.

Through Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides guided programs, your group receives roundtrip transportation to and from Boulder and an expert local guide who remains with you from the beginning of your day to the end. We can also arrange food, gear, or other amenities as requested. We are a one-stop shop!

Please contact us by phone or email for reservations. Please include your dates, desired objectives, services requested, number of participants, and any other information pertinent to your group. We will happily discuss and advise in the planning of your outing.
