A "Straight-to-the-points" experience focusing on Bryce Canyon's must-see sections, at your pace. With or without hiking, you'll also learn all about Bryce, in just 3 hours.

Chasm Lake is a stunning alpine body of water at the base of the Rocky Mountain's most famous summit, Longs Peak (14,259 feet). More specifically the lake lies in the bottom of a cirque below the 2400-foot-tall, east-facing cliff ("Diamond") that protects Longs Peak's lower flanks. Because of Chasm Lake's views of The Diamond, Longs Peak, Mount Lady Washington (13,281 feet), and Mount Meeker (13,911 feet), it is regarded as one of the most breathtaking destinations in the Park.

The hike to Chasm Lake takes us through dense spruce-fir forests into subalpine stands and finally the big views, stunted trees and scree fields of Colorado's famous alpine mountains. We pass views of distant peaks and waterfalls before finally arriving at the shores of Chasm Lake.

The Continental Divide Trail is one of three mega long scenic trails in the United States. It extends 3,100 miles from the Canada to Mexico, and for one stretch winds through the heart of Rocky Mountain National Park. This tour hikes one of the most stunning sections of the Continental Divide Trail above 12,000 feet. Along the way we’ll have the opportunity to summit multiple peaks including; Flattop Mountain, Hallett Peak, and possibly Otis Peak!

An early start from Bear Lake Trailhead is essential to avoid afternoon thunderstorms. The trail gradually gains elevation as we hike through dense forests of aspen and spruce trees. We’ll be close to treeline as the sun rises, taking a break to enjoy the magnificent views- of alpine lakes and streams below us.

The trail eases as we gain the summit of the aptly named Flattop Mountain (12,324 ft.) and joins the Continental Divide Trail. While this is an accomplishment already, going the extra distance to achieve Hallett Peak (12,713 ft.) is well worth the effort. Its summit rewards with enthralling views of Longs Peak and distant mountain ranges. Ambitious peak baggers and athletic hikers may consider going an additional 2-miles round trip to Otis Peak (12,486). Always keeping an eye on the weather, we will head back the way we came stopping for lunch in route to Bear Lake.

Helmet provided, Rental Included, Lunch Included

This is a truly special experience, descending multiple steps of plateaus; Starting from the top of Bryce Canyon, we'll hike down one of the best trails in the park, but not back up. Instead we actually exit Bryce through a near hidden trail, where our bikes await. From here its a nearly all downhill track across the grey cliffs of the Cretaceous Formation, where our shuttle awaits at the bottom to take us back.

Looking for a more adventurous day hike? This prehistoric trail was improved by Seth Tanner in the 1880s to reach mining claims and was at one time part of the Horse-thief Trail. We will walk this steep trail through limestone and sandstone formations. If adventure-in-a-day is what you're after, join us for this one! This is our most serious day hike. We descend 2-3 miles down the Tanner Trail, which is known by avid Grand Canyon hikers as one of the more serious trails on the South Rim. Be ready to challenge yourself on an exciting hike and soak up quintessential Grand Canyon views!

Walking in the footsteps of prehistoric Native Americans, we follow this ancient trail through the Bright Angel Fault. Bright Angel Trail offers a meandering descent into the Grand Canyon and is the easiest trail that goes far below the rim. There are multiple turn-around points which can make the hike 3 miles, 6 miles, 9 miles, or 12 miles round trip. The shorter and more moderate options are fantastic choices for families and for people who want to push themselves into the Canyon but would like water, bathrooms and shade to be available intermittently. And it's a great choice for more adventurous visitors who want to push themselves on a long, strenuous hike to Plateau Point for a stunning view of the Colorado River (12 miles round trip).

Originally used by native peoples of the Canyon, the Grandview Trail was rebuilt by miner Pete Berry in 1892 to access his Last Chance Copper Mine. Mining relics from a bygone era, far-ranging views and tremendous Inner Canyon scenery make this a perennial guide’s favorite. Our hike begins on a narrow trail with dizzying drop-offs (not a good choice for children or in winter.) We descend down through steep switchbacks with the Grand Canyon laid out in front of us like a painting on a monstrously large canvas. The Colorado River can be seen winding its way west in the distance, and the East Entrance Watchtower is visible on the rim 50 miles away. We continue down through pine, juniper and oak forests to a saddle that gives us a wonderful rest spot with views into the adjacent side canyon. Our trail begins a long traverse across a broad slope and eventually pops us out at Horseshoe Mesa, where Pete Berry's cabin is still standing and the relics of his Last Chance Silver Mine are visible today. With very ambitious groups, we can hike to the edge of the Mesa for stunning views or visit Cave of the Domes, the only cave in Grand Canyon National Park that visitors are allowed into (headlamps or flashlights required for the latter.) We'll enjoy a picnic lunch, take some amazing photos, and turn back to make our way back to the South Rim!

The Glacier Gorge Hike takes us into the justifiably very popular Bear Lake - Glacier Gorge part of Rocky Mountain National Park. This area features mountain scenery that is as breathtaking and beautiful as any in the world, literally. Glacier Gorge is a sub-alpine valley that drains several high mountain cirques. Our hike is characterized by dense forests, meadows, waterfalls, alpine lakes, glaciers and mountain cirques. Our hike takes us past Alberta Falls, a beautiful waterfall below treeline. We'll continue up a timbered valley with a tumbling creek to Loch Vale, a mountain lake at over 10,000 feet ringed by granite cliffs. We'll stop on the idyllic shores of Loch Vale and enjoy a picnic lunch. From here we have many options which include hiking to more lakes, continuing to views of glaciers, or returning back the way we came. Your guide will be ready to do whatever is going to make your day an unforgettable one!

This great point-to-point hike takes us from Bear Lake into the lake-strewn canyon of Odessa Gorge and the Fern Lake drainage beyond. In just over a nine mile hike, much of which is gentle downhill, we’ll find ourselves in a world of mountain spires and alpine lakes beneath them. We’ll take in views of the Little Matterhorn,The Gable, Notchtop and Knobtop mountains, all near 12,000 feet or higher, as we make our way on this one-way route through the glacially carved canyon.

We’ll enjoy a great lunch along the way, we’ll have time for rest and reflection at any number of alpine lakes we pass, and we’ll enjoy a long and gradual descent for much of our journey - with a handful of steep sections just to keep us on our toes!

Fern Falls flows in an elegant free-fall some 60 feet at 6.6 miles or so, and from there we enter the canyon of the Big Thompson River, past Arch Rocks, and The Pool to the Fern Lake Trailhead and our waiting shuttle back to Estes Park.

Really experience Bryce Canyon with this in-depth tour, from the bottom to the top. Combine multiple trails, or spend your time along the rim while learning about the flora, fauna, geology, and history of Bryce Canyon National Park.

Located in Utah, Goblin State Valley Park gets its name from the whimsical geological formations, referred to as “hoodoos” or “goblins” that have been carved by wind, water and time. Wander through the thousands of captivating and otherworldly hoodoos on your way to the Goblin’s Lair. Learn proper rappelling technique before you experience the thrill of rappelling 90-feet into the cavernous Goblin’s Lair. This trip is truly unique and suitable for families.

This is the best place to see wildlife, not only in Yellowstone National Park, but also in North America. Join us for a safari through the Serengeti of North America. Your expert guide will keep you safe, provide a picnic lunch, and answer whatever questions may arise in this living museum. Walk amongst the bison and pronghorn while listening to the river flow by.

The Grand Canyon Daily Group Hike is an opportunity to enjoy Grand Canyon's most iconic and dramatic trail, South Kaibab, in a small mixed group with a flat per person rate. We meet at the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park and make our way to the South Kaibab Trailhead, where we begin our descent into the Grand Canyon. Our well-maintained trail winds its way down an exposed ridge with panoramic views and epic drop-offs. As we hike, your guide will explain the forces that created the Canyon as well as the incredible geologic story laid bare by the Canyon's sheer walls. There's literally nowhere else like this on Earth!

Our turn-around point is based on the abilities and desires of the group, but our tentative goal is Skeleton Point (6 miles round trip). At a wonderful picnic spot overlooking the Inner Gorge and the Colorado River, we'll enjoy lunch soak up the magic of the Canyon before turning back toward the South Rim. If we turn back earlier, we will enjoy lunch at one of the other amazing spots along this trail, of which there are too many to count!

This 10.2 mile (16.4km) out and back hike will test any seasoned hiker. With an elevation gain of over 2,000 feet (609.6m) to the summit, you’ll finish this hike knowing that you’ve been on a rigorous outing.

Duration: 10-12 hours

The Arches & Canyonlands package combines two National Park 4X4 tours into one day. This combo includes the Shafer Trail, Tower Arch, and a delicious picnic lunch.

It begins high atop the Island in the Sky mesa and descends via the steep switchbacks of the Shafer Trail. We travel a portion of the White Rim for incredible views of the Colorado River corridor below. We stop to take in the sights, but there is little hiking.

The ancient culture of the Ancestral Puebloeans left evidence of their lives in the canyons. We make stops to investigate their mysterious and beautiful rock art before entering Arches National Park.

Tower Arch Arches National ParkOur professional guides add even more color to the iconic landforms and arches as we make our way to the Devils Garden for lunch.

After lunch, we start the backcountry Arches 4x4 tour near Doc Williams point. The trail climbs a steep, but short rock wall, cuts across a valley and meanders through sandstone fins and dunes. En-route we pass the Marching Men, Tower Arch, and the Eye of the Whale. We exit via an old cowboy trail and see Dinosaur tracks on our way back to Moab.

This 4X4 tour gets you into the area's top two attractions: Arches & Canyonlands National Park. These stunning parks are known for their impressive wild open spaces with the most awesome scenery in America.

See Yellowstone’s most famous and iconic sites including: Old Faithful Geyser, Yellowstone Falls, Grand Prismatic Spring, several erupting geysers, many colorful hot springs, bubbling mudpots, up-close wildlife sightings, a walk through the historic Old Faithful Inn, breathtaking views of Yellowstone Lake, and hikes within the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone! This tour is good for those who want a general tour of all aspects of Yellowstone National Park. On this tour, aside from stopping at all the major sites, we will take a series of small walks or hikes throughout the day, and we will stop for animal sightings where we will pull out high end spotting scopes and binoculars! We will also stop for a scenic picnic style lunch from a local deli at one of our many secret lunch spots!

Get ready for an adventure of a lifetime! Developed over thousands of years by wind and water, canyons provide an endless playground to explore. These natural obstacle courses provide plenty of unique and fun challenges to overcome which may include hiking, scrambling, rappelling, down-climbing and wading. Canyoneering may sound intimidating but with the support and guidance of a professional guide, canyoneering is a family-friendly adventure.

Anticipate a 1:30am - 2am pick up from your hotel. An early morning start and being fully rested is essential for a summit attempt on Longs Peak. A twenty minute shuttle brings us to the trailhead, where your guide will distribute backpacks, hiking poles, and trail snacks. You will quickly warm up as the trail consistently gains elevation for three miles. As the trees vanish, the alpine tundra emerges and the hiking terrain lessens to an easier grade.

A reward for our early departure is reaching Battle Mountain in time to watch the sunrise crest upon the notorious Diamond of Longs Peak, a 1,800 foot cliff face sculpting Longs Peak's east side.

Here forward the terrain turns to boulders and cliff edges. Use of hands, secure footing, and a respect for our surroundings is essential for safety. Passing through the Keyhole (a notch-like pass that allows us access to the summit), we gaze upon a new side of the mountain. We traverse a narrow edge until reaching the Trough, a steep gulley of boulders and scree rock, marking the most physically challenging part our ascent.

As the summit view emerges, so does the most exposed section of the hike. A steep, but walkable, slope leads the way to the top. After congratulations and photos we will descend the same path we hiked up.

Stopping for lunch on the way down allows us an opportunity to stare back up at Longs Peak summit and appreciate what we accomplished. Past the difficult section we descend back to the shuttle vehicle, ideally arriving to the trailhead by 3pm.

Please note: Acclimatization to altitude is very helpful for this climb. We suggest that you have spent a minimum of 48 hours within Estes Park or environs before the day of our hike.

Hit major Yellowstone highlights like Old Faithful, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, major thermal areas, Hayden Valley, and Yellowstone Lake. But also get off the beaten path for rare gems and wonders seen by relatively few visitors. We also include several short walks that put you face to face with nature. Guides ensure you see and learn about the park’s flora and fauna, geology, history, and much more. Enjoy a picnic lunch and safari-style dinner with your tour.

Areas explored are selected for their scenic quality, pristine natural condition and remote location. As a general rule, the rides explore higher environs (to 11,500 ft.) during mid-summer and lower elevations (to 3,900 ft.) earlier or later in the season.

This is the most famous rafting trip in the world. It is also our most physically demanding and rewarding trip. Spending a week living in the outdoors is a life-changing experience but it requires preparation and physical capability on the part of the participants. Please review this information before booking this trip, or call our helpful staff with any questions you may have.

We run the 7-day trip in April and September when there is shortened daylight to give our guests more time on the river. The 7-day trip in June is for more physically-capable guests who are able to do more extensive hiking and exploring in the canyon with the longer daylight hours.

The landscapes of Joshua Tree and Death Valley National Parks are startling, sublime, surreal, and exquisite. We’ll thread our way deep into each park to discover fascinating complexities of the seemingly austere surroundings. Two distinct lodges, one eclectic and one elegant, round out this desert journey.

From Palm Springs, we make our way to Joshua Tree National Park for our first glimpse of the namesake trees and a stop at the visitor center to gain our bearings. We’ll take a choice hike in the park before arriving at our unique accommodations in Twentynine Palms. On our full day in the area, we head for the farthest reaches of the park to see rock formations, unique flora, a waterfall, and a historic ranch.

Next, we’re off to Death Valley, stopping and hiking in Mojave National Preserve en route. We arrive to welcoming accommodations at The Inn at Death Valley, complete with palm gardens and a spring-fed pool. The largest national park in the Lower 48 offers up a number of wonders, and our explorations take us from the depths of Badwater Basin – located below sea level – to the top of Mount Whitney, at 14,505 feet! In between, we’ll admire the landscape from Dante’s View, hike the Golden Canyon Trail, hike through Mosaic Canyon, and take in a sunrise from Zabriskie Point.

Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks are the focus of this journey, sitting side by side, yet offering such complementary landscapes and opportunities. The combination of prolific wildlife, unique geothermal activity, and sheer beauty is simply unmatched.

From Bozeman, a trip along the Yellowstone River through the Paradise Valley leads us to our first stop, Yellowstone’s Mammoth Hot Springs. Before checking in to our accommodations, we’ll stroll the boardwalks around Mammoth’s subtly beautiful travertine terraces. Get to know about the park’s wildlife and history with a visit to the Albright Visitor Center. Wake early to begin the journey to the heart of the park, where we settle for two nights. With an eye out for wildlife – always! – we travel over Dunraven Pass, stop at the dramatic Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, look for wildlife in Hayden Valley, and follow the shores of Yellowstone Lake to Old Faithful. There will be time before and after dinner to catch an eruption of Old Faithful Geyser.

Our next day is all about gushing geysers, colorful thermal pools, and bubbling mud pots. Next stop, Jackson Hole, where the craggy Tetons cast their shadow. From a wonderful lodge in town, we spend days hiking in the Rockefeller Preserve, boating across Jenny Lake, strolling around the Jackson Town Square, and floating a scenic stretch of the Snake River.

Travel under the tourist radar and discover less-traveled trails, vistas, and cultural sites of southern Utah’s great parklands. Each of these parks is vastly different, and equally special. Experience the spring-fed creeks, dry and deep canyons, hoodoos, spires, arches, and towers of red, orange, brown, pink, and white. Listen for the haunting trill of the canyon wren. Discover the delicate plant life. At day’s end, take a dip in a cool pool and delight your taste buds with fresh Southwest cuisine.

Meet and greet in St. George, then head for the parks! Our first stop is Zion National Park’s lesser-visited Kolob Canyon, stretching our legs on a short hike. Our accommodations are inside of Bryce Canyon National Park, and tomorrow we’ll hike along excellent trails, taking in the striking spire-laden landscape.

We pack our bags and head for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. A stop in picturesque Kodachrome Basin State Park – which we may have to ourselves – offers up a gorgeous trail and picnic spot. From wonderful Boulder Mountain Lodge, we explore Grand Staircase-Escalante, marveling at features such as hanging gardens, towering cliffs, natural bridges, and a hole-in-the-rock. A visit to Escalante wouldn’t be complete without dinner at Hell’s Backbone Grill.

Last, but most certainly not least, we arrive in Zion National Park, where from wonderful accommodations in Springdale, we spend days in the park hiking to some of the spectacular places… Emerald Pools, the Virgin River Narrows, Angel’s Landing and Three Patriarchs

Variety is the spice of life—and that defines this delightful journey. You have full days to discover the incredible landscapes of Grand Canyon and Zion National Parks, plus the trip includes a fun array of unique experiences.

From Las Vegas, we make our way to the one and only Grand Canyon, with a tour of Hoover Dam en route. We’ll spend two nights on the edge of the canyon, with time for hiking along the rim, dipping down into the canyon, and capturing a classic Grand Canyon Sunset from the right spot. Endangered California condors may fly overhead, and we’ll be looking!

Next stop is Lake Powell, pausing en route for an Indian taco and to browse Indian art at the historic Cameron Trading Post. After a night at Lake Powell Resort, we’ll rise to float a serene stretch of the Colorado River just below Glen Canyon Dam, learning about the controversy surrounding the damming of the river.

We spend our last days in the energetic town of Springdale, outside of Zion National Park, highlighted by a variety of hikes that lead us to and through Zion’s beautiful treasures.

Locals call Utah’s national parks “The Mighty Five,” and on this epic journey you’ll hike in all of them. From Moab, you’ll traverse the fins and needles of Arches and discover quiet beauty in Canyonlands. As you venture through Capitol Reef, you’ll find some of the best of southern Utah’s geologic wonders. Bryce Canyon is hoodoo heaven, and in Zion, one trail culminates in an astounding viewpoint. This is your ultimate Utah: heaps of hiking, numerous national parks, and pockets of peace for red-rock ruminations.

From Grand Junction, follow the Colorado River right into Moab, where we don our hiking boots and head straight for Arches. Prepare to be amazed!!
