Breckenridge Trail Systems, Breckenridge Colorado

Experience flowy downhills, grinding climbs and historic mining roads. Tucked in the foothills of the Rocky Mountain’s Tenmile Range is Breckenridge, a small town with big mountain biking trails and terrain. At an elevation of 9,600′ with 800 miles of track — it is also a Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Community, awarded by the League of American Bicyclists. Mountain biking and cycling are a huge part of Breck’s backbone. From adrenaline downhills to relaxing cruisy trails, the town’s incredible network of trails all boast easy access and that will take you up and down Colorado’s famed terrain. Get ready for alpine singletrack, loamy forest trails, and fields of wildflowers as far as the eye can see.

Frisco Peninsula Trail System, Frisco Colorado

Frisco is surrounded on 3 sides by National Forest (75% of Summit County is public land) and it takes locals years to bike it all so you will never be bored. The good news is that you can learn to mountain bike or fulfill all your dreams of gnarly mountain biking achievement here. We’ve got it all. One of the county’s most popular early-season mountain bike trail networks is the Frisco Peninsula. For many Summit County residents the peninsula trail system is the first place to go when the snow melts in the spring. Typically the first to thaw out, it’s a great place to warm up for the season, get used to the altitude or just enjoy a beautiful trail ride next to Lake Dillon at any time during the summer. The network includes a number of short interconnected trails, so get out there and explore.This is a classic lunch hour ride with incredible views and waterside riding along Dillon Reservoir. There are a lot of trails in this system, and they are perfect for exploring with little chance of getting lost on this peninsula.

Soda Creek and Frey Gulch Trail Systems, Keystone Colorado

Mountain biking in Summit County is more than flumes, pine forests and mine tailings. When you get away from the Breckenridge area — home to the county’s most popular trails — things open up to reveal rolling meadows and faded ranch buildings. It’s the other side of life in the Rocky Mountains: Alpine ranching, the High Country’s last, great industry before the rise of ski tourism. On the west side of Keystone Resort is a system of trails that weaves past the fairways of Keystone golf club and south into Horseshoe Gulch. The system eventually connects with the wooded routes many mountain bikers know and love — Blair Witch, Gold Run Road, the Colorado Trail — but for a few short-and-sweet miles, it’s a taste of riding not often found in these parts (unless you want to pedal high above tree line, that is).

Salt Lick Trail Systems, Silverthorne CO

Predominately downhill, we will drive to the top of the trail systems which are right out of the back door of our office in Silverthorne. The Salt Lick Trails Systems. This series of trails pass through stands of lodgepole pine and aspen and you are greeted with amazing views of Lake Dillon, the Continental Divide the surrounding areas. The Salt Lick Trail System offers intermediate routes for more novice mountain bikers and includes Ute trail names such as “Nah-oon-kara” which is the Ute name for the land where blue water meets the sky, “Too-pwech” which means rock and “So-ov” which means Aspen tree. You can take the Summit Stage to the top of Salt Lick and ride the trails down or pedal from the bottom up with different possible types of loops and plenty of rolling terrain.

Abe Pacharz made our hike unique. Instead of following the commonly used trailhead he created a hike up the other side of the mountain. Much of which we blazed our own trail. Abe knew the history of the area and shared with us many interesting stories about the terrain around us. Abe's clearly a very experienced outdoorsman and an excellent guide. I'm glad we found Abe and thankful for him making a very memorable experience for our family.

Abe & Anne & the Colorado Adventure Guides team were awesome! They were professional, knowledgeable, fun, kept us engaged and learning. I'd highly recommend this local company for your outdoor experience!

The Intro to Splitboarding course with Justin Ibarra was tailored to my needs as a new splitboarder. I learned new techniques and knowledge that I look forward to using when I get my Avy 1 certification this season. I highly recommend this course to anyone who's new to the backcountry.

Andrew B

Anne and Justin were extremely informative and taught in a way that was easy to learn and applied it to real life scenarios. Abe offered great customer service and cooked up some filling meals during the hut trip. I highly recommend the professional and experienced team from Colorado Adventure Guides.

My experience with Colorado Adventure Guides was outstanding. The guides were first rate - they had an excellent knowledge base, tailored the route and pace to my experience and were enthusiastic, encouraging, and had a great sense of humor. Working with them was essential for me to have a safe and successful experience. I would use them again in a heartbeat and encourage everyone to do the same!

An outstanding course taught by consummate professionals in a fantastic location!

Anne was amazing!! She was incredibly knowledgable, If only I could just pack her in my backpack and take her with me on all my future back country trips! I am so grateful I got to do my Avi 1 with her, Dave and Abe, can't wait to get out there this winter to practice what we learned!

Ruthie S

Had a great time during the Avi1 course lead by Ann. The whole CO Adventure Guides crew was knowledgeable, professional and fun! I'm currently at home studying the material and checking out all the great resources they shared. Excited to keep the education going! Thanks for a great experience!

Jen N

Our guide Justin was fantastic. We are new to cold weather hiking and he sent informative and prompt emails that spelled out clearly what gear we needed to bring to be comfortable. Before we started he reviewed our goals for the hike and adjusted as we went along. During the hike he made many useful suggestions about dealing with the altitude and the climb in general. He set a comfortable hiking pace and gave us lots of opportunities for photos. I would recommend using Colorado Adventure Guides.
