Backpacking

Northern New Mexico

Perfectly situated outside Santa Fe, our New Mexico outdoor adventures are less than a day’s drive from Houston, DFW, Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso. Avoid the crowds and long drive to Colorado by bringing your group to Northern New Mexico. 12,000ft+ peaks, pristine lakes, and solitude for miles are waiting for you in the nation’s second-oldest national forest area, the Pecos Wilderness. See the area that famed trapper Kit Carson called home while traveling through several ecosystems to isolated alpine summits you will not soon forget. New Mexico is a perfect place for outdoor recreation and to avoid the crowds of Colorado!

Backpacking

Mountain Peaks, Colorado

Just a few hours north of our base camp, Southern Colorado is one of the most unique areas in the Rockies for outdoor adventures. With stunning views, lung-pounding hikes, and peaks that soar over the plains, a trip here will not be quickly forgotten. Our Colorado backpacking trips have the option to start in Santa Fe at the comforts of basecamp or to meet in Colorado at a campground for a more rustic start. This is a great location for adult hiking trips or family backpacking trips.
