- Here's what makes our Adventure Treks the best.
- ► Our setting! We're located in the 14ers region of the Rockies surrounded by 15 mountain peaks over 14,000 feet. Our ranch is less than 9 miles to the top of the Continental Divide.
- ► Our location! Our ranch is 150 miles southwest of Denver or 3 1/2 hours by car; and 120 miles or 2 1/2 hours west of Colorado Springs. US Highways 285 and 50 provide easy access to the Salida area. Our ranch is located 7 miles west of Salida and 3 miles south of US Highway 50 on County Maintained Road 210.
- ► The best value! Children 12 and under go for HALF PRICE.
- ► Our staff! All hiking leaders are certified in First Aid and CPR.
- ► Our small, highly personable treks! We take only you and your guests. No hiking with people you don't know. A minimum of two and a maximum of 4 is necessary for day hikes. We can accommodate more people but cannot provide a llama for every person. So if you can trade off leading a llama or don't want to lead a llama, your group can be 5-6.
- Don't forget about September Fall Foliage day treks which are awesome and the beauty is unsurpassed. The summer crowds are gone and the forests are quiet. Changing leaves usually begin around mid-September until early October.
