With the highest concentration of peaks over 14,000 feet in the US, Colorado is best explored on foot. And while it’s the peaks of the Rocky Mountain State that have made it famous, the diversity of Colorado’s landscapes also lend itself to some exceptional cycle touring as well.

Deserts, canyons, mesas and of course the iconic Colorado River, are waiting to be experienced on an active trip in Colorado. While the vast expanse of the “Great American Desert” challenged the many pioneers that headed west through Colorado, our range of supported hiking and cycling trips will allow you to experience the beauty and grandeur of Colorado in relative comfort.

You’ll feel like you’re on top of the world on a hike in the Rocky Mountain National Park. The 415 square miles of protected mountain landscapes feature a sub-alpine and alpine wonderland that’s packed with granite, snow-capped giants that rise out of the Great Plains. The Rockies also serve as an important habitat for fauna like the cougar, elk, bighorn sheep, grizzly bear, coyote and even wolverine.

The mountain towns of Steamboat and Aspen offer much more than great skiing and a retreat for the rich and famous. Here you’ll also find some of America’s most scenic hikes and of course there’s always time to relax and indulge in some of the culinary highlights these resort towns are known for.

Linking the towns and parks together is the ‘Million Dollar Highway’, one of the most scenic drives in the US and a welcome highlight away from the hiking and cycling trails.
