Our Epic Trips were designed in response to guest requests for unique hiking tours, backpacking trips and peak ascents in and around Rocky Mountain National Park and Roosevelt National Forest. These trips are sure to give you an amazing and challenging, yet thoroughly enjoyable experience above treeline in the high Rockies. Each tour offers a great blend of challenging elevation gains, long distance hiking, and spectacular scenery. Most tours require a shuttle between the starting and ending locations and involve logistical coordination difficult to arrange on one's own.
Superhuman Days are specifically designed for those that want to test their physical limits. We designed these tours from our intimate knowledge of Rocky Mountain National Park and are the only outfitter in Colorado that offers these extended day excursions. Superhuman days start before dawn, involve tremendous elevation gains, and significant mileage. But along with the challenges, they include the exhilaration of multiple peak ascents and leave you with a sense of true accomplishment.
Both the Epic Trips and Superhuman Days work best for small groups (2-12 people) and those up for the ultimate Colorado experience. For college teams and professional athletes, these trips can serve as a perfect team building experience and/or altitude training. Within a 1-2 hour drive from Boulder and Denver, Epic Trips and Superhuman Days are guaranteed to provide a wilderness adventure worth the effort!
