Rockies Guided Backcountry Hiking Tour

Wander into the wilderness on this guided backpacking tour in the Rockies and see the mountains like you can’t in any other way. Camping in the backcountry means there is nowhere to be but where you are, so you can stop worry about traffic and dinner time and start worrying about that epic sun setting over the mountains in front of you. During this guided hiking trip we get far into the wilderness and spend several days properly off the beaten path. You and 7 other new found friends will be with our professional guides who are there to make sure you are well fed and on the right track to having the time of your life. Sleep under impossibly starry skies, watch the sun set over the mountain peaks, swim in alpine lakes and nap in breezy meadows on your backpacking trip. Carrying everything on your back means you have everything you need. Something about an escape into the wilderness like this that makes time stand still.
