Welcome!

Our group plans to explore Colorado with those who enjoy backpacking and camping. The best friendships are made sitting around the campfire, laughing and sharing your thoughts, relaxing in the sun, exploring hiking trails, and enjoying camping food. There is something about sleeping outdoors that makes you feel one with nature. We are lucky to live in a such a beautiful state where we can camp out every month of the year!

Our car camping group will include adults, kids and pets in most cases. Some of the trips may involve visiting established campgrounds with water, campfire rings, restroom facilities and fees (contributions will be requested to help defray the reservation costs). Other car camping trips may involve using some of your backcountry skills at primitive campsites with only a campfire ring and no reservation fees.

Our backpacking group will be slower-paced with easier backpacking trips. We plan to practice Leave No Trace principles to leave the wilderness as pristine (or better) than we found it. Please be prepared with all the gear you will need to enjoy (and survive) mother nature. Don't forget to bring your bear bags and backpacking trowels for personal needs! Backpacking participants will need to be over 21 and no pets on our backpacking trips please, unless specifically invited on each particular trip.
