Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides provide wide range outdoor activities for any age of people. We offer many exciting trips including hiking trips, sightseeing trips, brewery Rocky Mountain National Park Tours, and ski trips in Colorado etc. Our guides over highly experienced will focus on outdoor knowledge and your safety.

We love Colorado’s wilderness beauty and want to share it in a way that inspires others. By sharing our knowledge and expertise, we hope to open up to you the local wilderness gems. We believe you will have a richer, safer, and more enjoyable experience because of the knowledge you gain on mountain safety, environmental stewardship, and local mountain geography and history.

However, just because we love the mountains (and hope you do, too), we know the mountains don’t always love us. Your safety is our number one priority and everything we do is with safety in mind, from the vehicles we drive, to a regular assessment of the weather/road/trail conditions, to discussing appropriate daily objectives.

We want you to explore the mountains, travel safely, and have experiences that last a lifetime!

As a result of our beliefs and values, described above, we have created a one-stop shop for wilderness guided tours and trips, team building activities, transportation, local outdoor exploration and information, safety training, event planning, and expert advice.

We have the highest safety standards for any guide company, outfitter, event planner, and/or transportation company in Colorado. Your Safety is always our first priority.

We ensure our teams members under go yearly medical and first aid training. Out staff have certifications in wilderness first aid, wilderness first responder, wilderness and urban emergency medical technician, registered nurse, CPR, and even higher levels of certifications. We take in consideration and evaluate experience in this equation. Thus, we have team members that do not just have certifications with no real life patient contact. We have professionals that have the experience to go with the certifications. In addition, we are always encouraging and updating the skill levels of our team members. Rest assured, we are setting the bar and are equipped to handle issues that arise in the backcountry and truly assess you before and during a tour or outing.

We are a Green Business and a Carbon-Neutral company.

We strive to be stewards of the lands we use and stewards of our impact on the local and global environment.

We spend a lot of money and time reducing our carbon impact and have striven to be a carbon neutral company. Our office is 100% wind powered and all our vehicles are 100% carbon offset. We have even calculated our air travel and waste into calculating our carbon impact.

As for being stewards of the lands we are so lucky to use, we have implemented practices such as Leave No Trace, Tread Litely, and other environmental stewardship education to reduce our impact and educate those that visit the outdoors with us. Education about environmental impact is woven into all our programs, trips, tours, and events in order to help educate and preserve the resources that John Muir and others so rightly lobbied and fought for.
