Overview
Our 4-day tour in the Gunnison National Forest gets travelers off the paved road and into the Colorado backcountry for amazing views, fresh mountain air and we do all of the planning, cooking and clean-up! The tour will cover 550 total miles (140 miles on dirt roads), cross six mountain passes, and see iconic mountain towns like Crested Butte and Buena Vista.
These tours are perfect for all experience levels, from novice to expert. Our team of guides will demonstrate camping best practices, give 4x4 driving tips, and care for and teach about the natural environment around us. We can't wait to have you join us on a trip.
We love the small group format as it means we get to make new camping friends (10 maximum) from all over the world! It also means we are on these adventures as a team. To help us all have a successful tour, it is really important to make sure travelers arrive well rested, stay hydrated and clearly communicate with our guides.
