REGIONS
Our original itineraries span 10 of Colorado’s premiere destinations. We consider our home of Snowmass, with access to world-class rivers, seven 14,000-foot peaks and wilderness right out the back door, the crown jewel of Colorado. It’s also the perfect base to explore the best of the state.
Southwest Colorado includes Silverton, Ouray and Telluride, known for rich mining history, spectacular Jeep roads through the San Juan mountains, and famous festivals like the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Under-the-radar Durango offers scenic and exciting whitewater rafting, a unique blues train and one of the state’s best breweries.
Colorful, funky Crested Butte offers bucket-list mountain bike rides and wildflower filled high-alpine hikes. Glenwood Springs accesses spectacular Glenwood Canyon and the Colorado River. And just over Independence Pass from Aspen, the Arkansas River Valley is home to the state’s highest (and some of the easiest) 14,000-foot peaks and the laid-back river towns of Buena Vista and Salida. Palisade and Paonia are home to a burgeoning wine region and a sunbelt of orchards and farms.
