About this Experience
What you'll do:
Peak Ascents are available year-round and offer a variety of options that change with the seasons, allowing for unique climbing experiences in both summer and winter. Whether you're aiming for a classic 14,000-foot summit or prefer a less-crowded 12,000–13,000-foot peak, there’s an adventure to match your group’s goals and experience. These climbs challenge both mind and body while rewarding hikers with stunning views, wildflowers, and a true sense of accomplishment. For those not ready for the more technical or busy 14'er routes, lesser-known peaks provide a quieter but equally memorable experience. The professional team at Colorado Adventure Guides will help you choose the best peak and guide your group every step of the way. Although online bookings close 72 hours before the start, last-minute trips may still be arranged by phone.
Why we love it for your party:
Customizable peak options allow the group to choose a challenge that fits their goals, skill levels, and desire for solitude or scenery.
Professional guidance ensures safety and success while making the most of the adventure with local knowledge and support.
Year-round availability gives groups flexibility to plan a unique experience in any season—from snowy summits to summer wildflower hikes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Previous Experience
The elevation in Silverthorne is 9,035 feet above sea level and most towns in Summit County share similar or higher elevations. When adjusting to altitude, the body needs to work a little harder. You might experience difficulty sleeping, difficulty catching your breath even during mild exertion, a racing heart rate, nausea, and a loss of appetite. For our Peak Ascents we strongly recommend and encourage clients to spend around 3 days in Summit County or similar elevations prior to attempting one of our higher peaks. Altitude affects people differently, and can affect the same person differently on separate occasions. If you deal with chronic pulmonary, cardiac, or other health issues like asthma, COPD, diabetes, CHF or if you are pregnant you should consult your doctor before your activity. Our guides are trained to recognize altitude sickness symptoms in the field and reserve the right to end the trip at any time.
Should We Tip Our Guide?
Your guide/instructors work hard before, during, and after your course to provide you with a great experience, and while not expected, gratuities are always highly appreciated. If you had a safe, educational, and fun experience, gratuities typically range from 15-20%.
Is there a minimum age required for this trip?
We typically accept participants 12 years or older, if they are accompanied by a legal guardian. You must be 18 years or older to attend a trip on your own.
How physically fit do I need to be for this Activity?
Colorado Adventure Guides priority is keeping our patrons and students safe. Our guides and instructors are trained to recognize potentially hazardous situations in the backcountry; they plan and operate accordingly. Prior to the start of any course or backcountry trip you will be asked to complete a brief health history. The failure to disclose pertinent information on the health history form could result in serious harm, even death, to the signing participant, other guests and/or the guide. All information submitted is completely confidential; it is for the guide’s use and would only be shared in the event of an emergency with medical and/or rescue personnel directly caring for the guest. Your ability to enjoy the adventure depends on your health and fitness, thus it’s recommended that you are in good physical condition.
When & how go I meet up with my guide/instructor?
