Recreation & Renewal

guided hikes, rafting, yoga, and arts

We are surrounded by world-famous Rocky Mountain parks, rugged mountain landscapes, and outstanding scenic beauty. Even better, we have backdoor access points to these areas that are not frequented by the crowds of people you find elsewhere in the Rockies. Many of our trails are hidden gems not even in guidebooks.

This rare kind of seclusion is not only great for hiking, rafting, and biking. It also lends itself naturally to renewal activities like yoga, mindfulness, painting, writing, and photography. Our outdoor paradise is a recreational dream that can also nurture minds and souls. We cannot wait to see what emerges for you.
