About This Adventure

This camping/hiking trip will be done as a group, with our day hikes going at a pace necessary for the whole group. We will basecamp at Forest Service or State Park campgrounds, eating together and do day hikes that the whole group can participate in.

This trip is for anyone looking for a mountain adventure! This promises to be an amazing adventure for those who are up for some mountain fun!

** Please note: While you can choose to arrange your own transportation to meet us in the Denver area (Brighton, CO) on July 26th, we cannot reduce your cost or pay for any other travel arrangements. Our cost for providing transportation remains constant regardless of how many participants choose to travel with us from the Twin Cities area. If you make your own travel arrangements, it is your responsibility to get to the hotel and to arrive timely. Also, we have the ability to drop folks off at the airport on the way out of Colorado on August 1st but we have a small window of time and it is your responsibility to book flights that allow you enough time to make your flight.
