PRICES the forests and wilderness areas of the rocky mountains, colorado, utah and arizona are just simply..... i was going to say out of this world but they are very much a part of this world, albeit a very beautiful and ever changing one. little things that are not seen in the managed forests of britain, germany and the rest of europe, such as the sight of fallen trees decaying where they lie. some recent casualties of avalanche or lightning strikes, still whole and sturdy, some more ancient and only discernible as a faint brown line ofcellulose stretching along the forest floor, not yet claimed by the ground vegetation. hiker coming down from angel's landing / zion national park utah the scope and massive size of the mountains and canyons is truly "awesome". the thrill of walking or riding along a ridge or rim looking down on creation is not an experience easily put aside. we still, every day, are amazed by our environment and want you to share this with us , even if it is just for a short one or two weeks. the time you spend with us will recharge your inner batteries, put a smile back on your face and hopefully make your life richer for the experience. our guides, the best in the areas, will point out the myriad wildflowers found in the mountains and canyon lands. you'll see marmots and chipmunks every day, picas (tiny, squeaking, guinea pig-like animals living in the scree) if you have sharp eyes. if you're lucky you'll see elk and deer and if you're really lucky you may even see some bighorn sheep and mountain goats high up above you. wait for it! if you're really, really lucky you may see a black bear but even i had only ever seen tracks made by a mountain lion up until the autumn of 1997 when on one of our private hikes, angela and i saw a lone male high up in the yule valley. most large, wild animals have a natural aversion to human beings and smell and see us long before they are within our own, very meagre, sensory field. the one draw back about coming hiking, biking, riding or skiing with us is that no matter what time of year, spring, summer, winter or autumn, you'll want to come back again to see the remarkable difference each season brings to the mountains the canyons the streams the trees and virtually every aspect of the wilderness. so start putting those pennies away and we'll see you soon! as well as the pre-set programmes you will see on our site, we also tailor programmes for individuals, families and small groups. we pride ourselves on having always been able to accommodate any wishes for things to do and places to visit in the four corner states of colorado, utah, arizona and new mexico. if you have an itinerary you would like us to put together for you, let us know. we reserve the right to make alterations to the programmes as we deem neccesary for whatever reason. the quality of the experience will be maintained regardless of these alterations.
