Getaway/Road Trip, Rustic Mountain Cabin Stay, River Rafting, and ATV Riding

Details

Trip/Event Description:
Travel to the Gunnison area, stay in rustic cabins in the mountains, explore rocky trails on ATVs, and more.

This trip will be set up with an optional itinerary where you can pick and choose from several other activities and day-long excursions to attend. Most will be attended and/or led by your host.

Base Camp (at or above 9500 feet):
Regardless of your chosen lodging selection, one spot will be identified as the overall base camp where you can always get in touch with me (or at the very least get a message to me).

Furry-Friendly:
Well-behaved dogs and cats are welcome on this trip. There may be a pet fee involved if you are renting a cabin.
