With an exceptional track record spanning hiking, rafting, and rock climbing adventures, this outfitter consistently delivers through their talented guide team. Names like Jared, CJ, Tanner, Jake, Boyd, and Perry come up repeatedly, each praised for their expertise, safety focus, and ability to make adventures both educational and fun. Guides go above and beyond—lending gear to unprepared clients, spotting wildlife others miss, pacing beginners on their first 14ers, and tailoring rock climbing routes for mixed-ability families. The company shines at accommodating last-minute bookings and changes, with several reviewers noting same-day arrangements and flexible trip modifications. Whether you're tackling Quandary Peak for the first time or navigating Colorado River rapids with kids, guides strike that perfect balance of knowledgeable and laid-back. They share historical facts and trail tips while keeping the mood light and engaging. Multiple families specifically mentioned feeling safe with young children along, and first-time high-altitude hikers credited their guides with getting them safely to summits they might have otherwise turned back from.
I wasn’t sure about taking a beginner split board class as I have already been in the backcountry. However, I learned some things about my bindings and equipment and it was the first time I have ever tried riding down over icy flats/ slight uphill with poles. I’m sure I would’ve never tried that on my own and yet it was a game changer. It really encouraged me to follow others more skilled than me and increased my confidence level on those icy flats. Also really appreciated the classroom setting initially and then moving out for the tour. I had a lot of fun and highly recommended it.
