From the reviews

I just attended a week of leadership and wilderness guide training at Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides and came away really impressed and completely empowered. The team did a great job making the training both practical and engaging.

We really loved our sightseeing tour with Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides. We enjoyed seeing Boulder which was only a short drive from the hotel where Kristen our guide picked us up! We then went to some scenic area and took short but beautiful hikes!

Gave them a call when my wife and I expressed some interest in heading up the Cables Route on Longs Peak. We worked with Gabby at the office and then had Will as our guide. The experience was fantastic. We are experienced hikers but are new to rock climbing.

We did a half day Intro to Fly Fishing guided trip with Noah and it was so much fun! He brought us to a couple of different spots on Boulder Creek to teach us about where fish likely are, how to use the rod, great casting techniques, and about the flies.
