Every guided hiking tour with Trail Fiends is meticulously planned to maximize your group’s safety and enjoyment


Every adventure begins with planning your route and preparing for the journey ahead.

Before we take you into Colorado’s rugged and beautiful backcountry, we begin every trip with an orientation. Your hiking guide will discuss the route you’ll be traveling, some outdoor safety tips, some of the wildlife you might see, trail etiquette, and the deep and fascinating history of the place you’ll be hiking.

This in-person orientation is a chance for you to meet your guide, ask questions, pick out your food for the trip, and choose your gear for the hike.
