I had the pleasure of hiking Grays and Torreys with Gabriel August 15, 2021. Gabriel was very accommodating and we touched base a couple days before to answer questions and finalize plans to meet in a central location which was super helpful! He was timely and waiting for me at our meeting spot at 3:17 am while I was 2 minutes late for our 3:15 meet up🤦He quickly made me feel comfortable and we headed out to hike at 410am after a light breakfast. I set the pace and never felt like I wasnt in control of the hike. This was key for me. As an avid solo hiker I was unsure how I would feel hiking with a guide in an unfamiliar area, but Gabriel was a great hiking partner, guide and photographer☺📷 He identified and taught me about the local flora/ fauna we saw along the way including a Pika! SO cute! He answered all my questions and identified all the mountains I asked about, making me feel like I knew where I was looking! Gabriel was a great conversationalist, but also gave me time to hike in silence while taking things in and to just breathe 😂 Overall, I had a great hike and it was the perfect introduction to hiking the Colorado high peaks. I would never have thought about hiring a guide before this trip and Im so glad I did. I would recommend it to anyone! It gave me the confidence to get out into unfamiliar territory while feeling safe doing so! Overall, I have zero regrets about booking with them! Missing Colorado already!

Contacted Colorado Wilderness by phone about a multi-day guided adventure for my family (wife and three older teenagers). With a crazy year, we decided to stay in Colorado for our vacation time this year. Colorado Wilderness Rides And Guides designed us a custom six day custom backpacking three day trip and added three extra days for rafting, rock climbing, and mountain biking. Tom and Kailyn were super in communicating with us before and prior to the trip. Our guides Joshua and Alex were amazing. They went above and beyond in creating an amazing, custom and safe experience for our family. The time was important for us in bonding after a hard last year with covid and already requesting us to book another trip with you for next summer. Thank you for exceeding our expectations and taking such incredible care of our family. We will be back for sure!

Planned this trip in June 14 and told a week before we get there that there was no guide available on the day and time that we choose. Of course they took our payment already. When we changed our plans and was going to go a different day we told them that we had to be back by a certain time. They lady on the phone agreed. We got a phone call from the guide the day before and he informed us that we could not be back by that time. So we could not go, waiting on a refund, and staff was not efficient! I will not recommend this company to anyone and strongly recommend you take your business elsewhere!

My dad and I traveled to Colorado recently and wanted to do some climbing. Im a relatively experienced climber, but he has never been. Right before our trip, he decided he wanted to give it a try. I was apprehensive about leading this excursion, especially because i didnt know the area along with my dads lack of experience. CWRAG was the perfect solution. They provided the gear, a knowledgeable guide, and planned everything out. Instead of me stressing over these things, we were able to enjoy the outdoors and my dad climbed his first crag! Our guide, Chip, was fantastic. He taught us about the local ecology, belayed for us, encouraged us, and was all around an awesome dude. I would definitely recommend CWRAG if youre looking for a stress free adventure and/or dont necessarily have the means to pull it off on your own.

Great company and Great Guides. We had a truly memorable time fly fishing and rock climbing! Thanks for the all the skills we learned!!!

We had such a great time with a sightseeing trip with Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides. Brad who was our guide in this trip was so nice, polite, and informative. He was also flexible in customizing our trip plan. There were plenty of water and food that the tour prepared for us. The sandwiches were delicious and we also came across many wildlife like elk, marmot, and eagle within that eight hours!

Had an awesome experience taking my AIARE 1 with CWRAG, really supportive group of guides that do a great job of ingraining the skills it takes to stay safe in the backcountry. They really act as more than a business, they make you feel like part of a community. 10 out of 10 would recommend if youre looking to get into the backcountry.

Absolutely fantastic. I attended their AIARE Avalanche 1 class, which includes two hours of homework, eight hours of classroom instruction, and two full days of field practice. The evening lectures were very comprehensive and engaging. Josh and Jill covered everything in the syllabus and gently introduced several more advanced topics outside the scope of the class. The field days exceeded my expectations. The thoughtful and expert guides led us through two days of exercises in small groups. We planned our route in the classroom but adjusted it in real-time to accommodate the conditions and terrain. Jill was an excellent guide and provided every attendee individual attention and instruction as we cycled through roles on the team. Ill also add that the office staff were very accommodating of my schedule and worked hard to ensure I could receive this training before the season ended.I will definitely be returning to CWRAG for future classes.

Took their Avi 1 class last week.Josh, Cindy and Gill where really knowledgeable and fun to hang with!Great deals on gearGreat follow up after the class too

My instructor/guide Jill and the team were very communicative in the time leasing up to my actual training. They asked numerous questions to ensure I was going to have the experience that my girlfriend and I were after based on our specific skill level and future plans. Definitely not a one size fits all approach, which was greatly appreciated.The actual training was enjoyable, informative, and exactly what we had in mind to help us gain skills, increase our confidence, and help us expand our engagement of the outdoors safely.I appreciate the professionalism, the depth of knowledge of the trainer, and the safety protocols followed per the pandemic.With this training completed, we are looking forward to planning our next trips!

I took the AIARE Avalanche Level 1 course with CO Wilderness Rides and Guides and it was awesome. The staff was great sharing first-hand accounts and anecdotes of how they handled situations as well as case studies of past avalanches. The on snow part was super fun and informative, would highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about how to be safe in the backcountry!

Took AIARE I with CWRAGS in March 2021 and was very happy with the course. The classroom sessions were well organized over Zoom. Jill was my instructor on the field days -- shes a great teacher, great hands-on demonstrations of theory, and guided us well through the decision-making process and group dynamics that factor into avalanche safety. I had a great time and learnt a ton! I will look to CWRAGS for my future avy training.

I took the AIARE level 1 course through CWRAG and had a wonderful experience. CWRAG instructors Jill, Josh, and Chris are friendly, well-organized, and knowledgeable. They use a lot of interesting analogies and stories throughout the course. I also liked that they scheduled two weeknights and then a full day off before two more days in Estes Park. Having a day to rest made it easier to absorb the information and get ready for the outdoor portion. I stayed over night in Estes Park and especially appreciated Jill taking the time to meet with me in the morning and work through the trip planning process while the rest of the class was reconvening in Boulder. I feel like I learned a lot and had fun in the process, enjoying the outdoors with some great people! I would definitely recommend CWRAG and I hope to take another course through them in the future!

The guide, Mr. Joe OLeary, took the time to show me a small but wonderful part of RMNP today. We were in RMNP at Sprague Lake before sun up. After taking several photos there we traveled a short distance to Bear Lake where we took more photos and hiked up to Emerald Lake at an elevation of 10,100 feet msl. The photo safari was only scheduled to last 4 hours, but it ended up almost 6 hours long. I know that he was getting paid for what he was doing, but I believe Joe went above and beyond what was required. Money well spent.

Our guide Alex was the best!! He definitely knows the clear creek well and make the ride a lot of fun. We went on beginner level even though the kids wanted to go on intermediate (regardless of the fact they do not have any experience). The kids agreed there was a good amount of white water that made it fun. The water was 38degrees on a 90 degree day. We got the package with the wet suits and were happy we did!!

Did AIARE 1. Awesome guides and an incredible experience, would 100% continue education through them. AIARE course is really well structured for those of us who work a 9-5.

I took AIARE 1 with CWRAG and had an amazing experience. They adapted their curriculum to Zoom very well, and I enjoyed learning the classroom material from the comfort of my home. The two days in the backcountry were informative and fun- my instructor, Jill, was extremely knowledgeable about snow science, safety, decision making, and rescue, and overall an excellent teacher. I learned so much and had a really great time doing it! I would recommend CWRAG to anyone looking for avalanche education!!

Such a fun day learning to rock climb! Kids loved it, adults loved it. Our guide was excellent. We scheduled at the last minute and they were super accommodating. Highly recommend!

Course was well organized from pre-work to Zoom lectures to actual on-mountain days. Course increased my confidence in identifying avalanche terrain and reinforced the incredible risk that avalanches pose in the Colorado mountains (see persistent slabs). AIARE 1 was a thorough intro to contour maps, inclinometers, avalanche forecasts, weather forecasts, and route planning as well as basic safety essentials (beacon, shovel, probe).

If youre looking for a fun and personalized experience for AIARE (avalanche safety training) and you can make it to the Boulder, CO area this is, in my opinion, the Outfitter to go with. Joshua Baruch, GM and CEO leads the lecture and field study with his team of expert staff (Cindy and Jill were our outstanding team leaders). The team takes you through the course work and field scenarios to make sure you are more knowledgeable and prepared for traveling in avalanche terrain. They will prepare you for rescue scenarios that you may experience in the field, and how to observe snow layers for instability (digging a pit). This is just a starting point for backcountry snow enthusiasts and CWRAG Avalanche training courses are top notch! Highly recommend!

We booked 5 days of private rock climbing with a guide over a two week period to transition from climbing in the gym to climbing outdoors safely. Booking was super easy and the trip was customized for exactly what we wanted. Our guide, Justin, was fantastic - professional yet very friendly, taught us the basics of outdoor climbing and most importantly, safety! I would 100% book another trip with Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides.

Dave was an informative great guide! Loved the last little hike to see the dinosaur print! An unexpected plus to the trip! Fun, relaxing float down the Colorado River! Would recommend to anyone!

I had a great experience taking my Avy Level 1 and Avalanche Rescue courses with CWRAG. Josh was a very good and thorough instructor - we covered all the material and I felt well guided. Lots of great content in the online Zoom classes as well. I would highly recommend to others to take the same courses for winter backcountry travel!

My two daughters and I went on an all day rafting trip with Joshua B. as our guide. He was very friendly and informative always putting safety first. We were treated to a delicious lunch and were treated like family. I would recommend Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides to anyone looking for an enjoyable, safe outdoor adventure.

Guides were fun and experienced. Safety always first. Excellent review of safety instruction and caution caring for the group. They were fun and witty too. Great experience overall. Id recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and safe adventure.

I took the Aiare 1 class. CWRAG went way above and beyond my expectations. The staff was great and very knowledgeable. The snow education was excellent and the field work tied everything together. I learn a lot and they made if fun. My critical thinking improved and I will be safer because if this class. I highly recommend taking this class if you are going into backcountry or anywhere avalanche terrain

I took my AIARE 1 through CWRAG. It was fun, informative, and personal. The instructors are very intelligent and excited to share their knowledge with you. I went in knowing only one person and left with a great community. I learned a lot and had a great, well-rounded, experience. Will definitely go through CWRAG again for my one day rescue course next!

I cant say enough good things. We fished and climbed with these folks and it was an exceptional experience. I highly recommend. They have a great approach, are very patient, very knowledgeable, and are very reponsive to your needs.

Amazing company with amazing people! They provided my sisters and I with an unforgettable experience!

Amazing experience first time rafting! We did the intermediate level and had a blast, would definitely recommend Colorado Wilderness rides and guides and we cant wait to go back!!

My wife and I had the best experience with Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides. Our guide, Jill, was excellent--kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. She is a veteran hiker, an emergency situation trainer and is well-equipped for any outdoors scenario. Everything went to plan. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

Absolutely a five star experience! Every single step of the way, from inquiring about services to booking to actually hiking were top notch. This group is so knowledgeable and customized our trip every step of the way to meet our particular training needs. Not only did Jill pick us up from the hotel each day, bring lunch and snacks plus extra gear, but she took us to a mountaineering store so that I could see in person the gear I will need for my next adventure. Part photographer, part encyclopedia of knowledge, part coach, and now friend, I couldn’t recommend Jill more. Because of you I feel confident and far more prepared for my big summit next year. Thank you Chelsea for helping us plan such an amazing trip and thank you Jill for helping us see it through!

We did a half-day trip on Clear Creek and loved it! Great experience all around. The rafting outfit is Colorado Adventure Center and their guides are positive and entertaining. The photography of your experience on the river is tops. Booking through Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides the photos were included in the cost and very worth it. I also highly recommend a stop at Westbound and Down in Idaho Springs for beer and a bite after your trip down the river. Delicious!

First time that I worked with this organization - was highly impressed. Every year my military buddies and I take adventures around the world. Due to COVID we werent able to go internationally - so went to Colorado for the mountains and adventure. Took 2 tours with this organization (a) the white water rafting with guide Josh who was very knowledgable and highly skilled. He was very fun to hang with and clicked with our sense of humor immediately. Great background and knowledge from Josh - so much that we are coming back in 2022 for a curated program to fit our needs due to his abilities and personality. (B) we did mountain biking with guide Phil - - another great soul of a person. Very knowledgeable and highly skilled on the bikes. We had never done mountain style before and he was very easy to learn from, very energetic and taught us A LOT in a short amount of time. When I go back for work in Denver - I will surely be looking Phil up to bike around Golden/Boulder. Fun guy, fun time - and great organization to work with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Quite well organized although email info the day prior did not arrive to inbox. The day itself was excellent training and punting as weather and traffic on the beacon training field necessitated. Very knowledgeable instructors with the right balance of info, experience, and encouragement for skills demonstrated.

Great fun!! Guides were friendly and very informative which made for a very safe experience. Overall we would rate this adventure a 5/5.

We climbed with Bernardo at Eldorado state park. He was super nice and helpful when teaching us how to do our first multipitch. We had climbing experience before but had never done Trad or multipitch. The route we did was rewritten and the views were spectacular the whole way up, I highly recommend climbing with Bernardo!

Our guide Jamie was kind and fun. We really enjoyed it and WILL go back and try the intermediate and advanced white water rafting!The zip line experience was also amazing. Your crew is simply wonderful! Their positivity and sense of humor kept us all happy and motivated!Thank you!

I planned a trip for my husband and his two friends to go fly-fishing with Colorado Wilderness. They had a blast with their guide Alex and learned a lot. My husband said Alex was good at setting up the conditions so they could be successful (they all caught a few fish). In setting up the trip, I corresponded with Nicole several times and she always responded quickly and thoughtfully. Would definitely recommend them.

My wife & I are very inexperienced mountain bikers. Our guide Phil was an awesome instructor. We got out on some challenging trails but never felt like they were too much. Phil made us feel like wed been doing it for years! Highly recommend this company and their services!

I took the AIARE Level 1 course taught by Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides. The instructors were knowledgeable and kept the classroom sessions interesting. They also made the field trips fun and a great learning experience

I really appreciated their service. I wanted to take my team on a hike and it was nice to talk before hand about how challenging it should be. They really picked the perfect hike for my team! Josh was great and easy to work with (as was his team). Yes, you can go hike on your own for free (I do all the time) but if you want a guide and somebody that knows the area this is perfect. Outstanding for company trips or inexperienced hikers. I highly reccomend Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides.

I just completed the AIARE Level 1 training course with Josh, Jill, and Chris at Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides. Josh, Jill, and Chris are fantastic instructors! The course was interesting, educational, and fun. I highly recommend Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides!

Wow👌 got a guided tour as a wedding present, and we went hiking with Joe OLeary...what an excellent guy! 10/10 would recommend him to anyone wanting an unforgettable hiking experience! 🙌He was the best person to spend the day with ...even brought us lunch and snacks. Couldnt have had a better time! Colorado Wilderness Rides is a Class A place. Definitely will be coming back😀

Outstanding experience. Very knowledgeable staff and hike guide. Learned the key things to know about hiking and even tasted mountain spring water!Highly recommend the Royal Arches hike.

As an older climber, Jill understood quickly how best how to get me up and down the mountain. I will be back.

Had a great day with our very nice and extremely knowledgeable guide Joshua taking care of everything from pickup, food, terrain navigation and sharing many helpful tips and his experience!

First rafting experience and it was great. 2 teenagers and grandma and we all had a great time. Enthusiastic guides, with safety and fun foremost. If you are in the area - GO!

Jill and Josh are super knowledgeable and experienced with back country winter safety. Great experience learning about and identifing avi terrain, snow conditions and managing risks. Definitely recommend if you venture out to the mountains in winter. Met some great people as well.

We have used Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides a few times over the years to provide scientific excursions to Rocky Mountain National Park for graduate student colloquium participants. The students come from all over the country and the world with various backgrounds in outdoor experience. Every time they come back with rave reviews about the trip. These folks are really serous professionals when it comes to outdoor pursuits. You cant go wrong.

Truly professional and class-act organization, which you can not say for all guide services. We came in from out of town, and they were incredibly helpful on the organization of the trip and perfectly-communicative as we made some last minute changes based on our travel schedule. They created a totally bespoke two-day adventure for us, and we had a blast. We did a lot of research to land on this company, and they did not disappoint. We will certainly use them for any guide experience in Colorado, from rivers to mountains.

I completed the Level 1 avalanche training course and it was excellent! I enjoyed the adventure of our two days touring in the mountains and practicing our avalanche problem and snowpack assessment skills. Our instructors were very friendly and passionate about the subject matter. I’m inspired to learn more about backcountry skiing and avalanche safety!

They are a third-party vendor so they are booking tours on behalf of Colorado Adventure Center (I did not realize when I was booking); however, they are very professional. The booking was easy, accurate and complete. They notified me via email a few times prior to the trip to make sure I had the right clothing, knew where to go, knew exactly what was and was not provided for the rafting.

This is a stand up company run by stand up people. They can equip you for any adventure you have in mind! Bikes, hikes, fishing, river sports just to start. They facilitate adventure! From running large corporate outings, to helping a stranger off the street change a bike tire, they can do it all. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. These arent just some retired bros they really get what the Colorado lifestyle is all about.

I had a very great time learning about decision making in avalanche terrain. This course taught me the different avalanche problems and how to identify and manage my risk when traveling in the backcountry. The instructors were very knowledgeable about the subject. I will definitely recommend CWRaG to anyone looking to get their AIARE level 1 certificate.

My dad and I could not have asked for a better guide on our first snowshoeing adventure. Jill was very accommodating giving us multiple options for short or longer hikes. With a high avalanche risk on the day of our trip, we were very glad to have our expert guide to keep us safe! I would highly recommend this company to novices and experts alike. Even my dad who has lots of outdoor experience learned some new things!

I had an awesome experience with Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides. I had been back-country skiing for three years prior to taking the class and my only regret was not taking the class sooner. They give you all the tools to confidently plan tours based around your own risk tolerance to make sure you are not missing the important signs to stay safe in the back-country.

Josh & Jill were energetic, fun and incredibly knowledgeable course leaders! Not only did I have a blast and meet great folks, but I feel like Im part of the backcountry family now. I cant wait to get out and tour with both Josh & Jill again! Thank you for such a great experience!

Great pre adventure information. White water rafting was safe, friendly and professional. Our guide Dan was well train and confident. Put one of our family members at ease who was a little anxious. Thanks for a great first white water rafting trip.

We had an awesome time mountain biking with Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides. They picked us up right from our place and went to trails. Our guide was experienced and friendly. He provided us some tips that were super helpful and got us on more intermediate trails as we warmed up.

I took the AIARE 1 class this past weekend, and it was a great intro to avalanche safety. The classroom sessions were more useful than I expected - we did a fair amount of case studies in which we applied what we’d learned to new scenarios. The field day sessions were excellent, with a ton of hands on learning from people who were truly experts. Would recommend to anyone interested in exploring the Colorado backcountry in the snow!

Great team @CWRAG, they provided a clear information in an easy way to consume. The learning was great and overall i had a good experience learining AIARE level1 and now feel much more confident in my decision making in the back country.Thanks

We had a fantastic time learning and exploring for the first time on mountain bikes. Brad was great! He was amazing at being attentive to our needs and interests. Thank you for being a memorable part of our trip!!

Very good educational AIARE level 1 class. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The two field days felt very safe with them, and made sure we understood how to keep ourselves safe after class.

Wade, our guide, was the man. We wouldnt have had such a beautiful and perfect day hiking around the Rocky Mountains in snow shoes without him. The company was professional courteous and explained everything in great detail. Made our trip to Colorado something Ill always remember.

These folks are awesome; they saved my trip! I had scheduled transportation to and from a trail head in RMNP with Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides for part of a trip I spent months planning. Well, the day before the pickup, a forecast for an October dumping of snow forced me to change plans. I was already traveling and had limited resources and time to re-plan this part of my trip. After a few telephone calls with Josh, the owner, he had helped me create an alternative itinerary that better fit with the snow storm. John, my driver the next morning, picked me up right from my hotel and helped me to comply with the Parks winter season logistical changes that involved a little extra driving.I could not have done all that last minute planning on my own and probably would have spent the next couple of nights in a motel in town had it not been for Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides. Instead, I was in the park, surrounded by elk, birds, and breathtaking views of snow covered landscape.Two days and 15 inches of new snow latter, Im picked up by Nick (and a really sweet black lab named Sam) right on time to get me back to Boulder to catch the bus to my next leg. On the way out, Nick was able to answer questions to help me identify much of the wild life I saw. Im so glad I worked with them verses a plain old taxi or shuttle service. There is a huge advantage to working with a transportation company that is also a full-service wilderness guiding company.I will definitely use them again. hopefully next summer.

The Avi 1 course came recommended by a friend who took it a couple years back and after going through it, I would recommend it to others. All of the instructors are friendly and know their stuff. Thanks Josh, Jill and Chris!

CWRAG is an amazing guide service, friends of mine and I had a great morning rock climbing with them in the Boulder valley last weekend. None of us had any real experience with outdoor climbing, but our experienced guides Alex and Jason were fantastic teachers and were patient as we all took our turns at our comfortable paces. They came very prepared, and we all felt very safe under their supervision. Were all looking forward to rock climbing with them again sometime!

Took an AAIRE 1 course with the fine folks at Rides and Guides. Josh and Cindy are wonderful instructors that practice what they preach. Highly recommend!

So much fun! Knowledgeable staff, fun to boat with, nice gear, price is worth the experience!

Took the AIARE 1 Avalanche Rescue Course with Josh and Jill. Awesome field day with even better instructors. Highly recommend.

Excellent customer service. I needed to reschedule an AVY 1 class twice due to injuries and they were incredibly flexible and understanding and made the extra effort to make sure we could work out the best possible outcome for my situation. First class service.

We used CWRAG for 4 days for two families and we had simply the best time. All the guides were great and knowledgeable, good with kids, prompt, honest, hardworking, and always made sure everyone was safe. We toured Rocky Mountain National Park, rock climbed Boulder Canyon, rafted near Idaho Springs, swam and cliff dived in a glacier lake by St Marys glacier, and also rock climbed Eldorado Canyon. Highly recommend to anyone interested in family or individual guided tours or rock climbs. Special shout out to Jason A. who led me up a ~500 foot multipitch in Eldo to stunning vistas and an unforgettable repel back to the river.

High avalanche danger but guide Josh navigated and safely showed us a great couple of backcountry days. Was educational in the amount of information for snow and avalanche reading

Great experience - well run and super fun. Really good guides.

Great guides - great trip! Felt well taken care of.

Josh did a great job teaching our AIARE rescue class. He was incredibly knowledgeable and made the class fun. I plan on taking AIARE 2 with Colorado Rides and Guides in the future and will try to seek out a class Josh is teaching.

A group of wild, outdoor loving professionals that always deliver the best service. I took the AIARE level 1 course and learned so much! I highly recommend.

My fiancé and I hiked Mount Sanitas with a kind guide who made us feel comfortable especially because we had never hiked a mountain before. Without the guide we would have possibly gotten lost on the trail and worried about the unknown, but because we had a guide our focus was on the beautiful views. We took many breaks during which our guide took pictures for us and we had a chance to take it all in. Our only disappointment was that we were expecting a narrated hike with more of an educational experience - learning about the plants, rocks and history. Instead, we led most of the conversation along the hike and when we asked questions, we learned that the guide didn’t know much about the geology and only some history. Overall, we don’t regret it but we would have enjoyed a more energetic and educational guide.

Alex and Jack were great fly fishing guides -- they curated an educational and fun experience! Will definitely be back for other adventures!

A great experience--we had a group of about 85, and I loved how we were able to stick together for the most part, as well as accommodate for adrenaline junkies and others. The guides were very kind as well!

Great experience with my AIARE 1 class. Instructors were very knowledgable and presented the info in a great way. Definitely people Id want to be in the backcountry with

Fun, welcoming atmosphere with guides that have a lifetime of expertise

We rented mountainbikes and had a guided ride with a group of about 20 people. Although everything went well and we had a really nice ride out, not all of our bikes were technically faultless (worn-out tires, squeaky brakes, leaking front forks, dry chains, etc.).The guides divided the group into smaller groups according to fitness level and experience. However, they had not planned our routes in advance, so a lot of time was lost finding the right parking area, discussing who should ride where, as well as in the obligatory safety brief (read from a printout) prior to riding off. As a result, our overall riding time was less than 3 hours. In my view, thats less than the day-trip we signed up and paid over a 100 dollars for.We were all well taken care of, but to improve value for money, CWRAG should offer better/newer bikes and plan ahead. Less talk and more riding!

Took an AIARE Level 1 course with them and I was very happy at how great the instruction was. Im definitely recommending to all those I know in Colorado & elsewhere!

It was an awesome experience. Our guide Andrew was too good. Had a whale of a time. Thanks!!

Great experience! Knowledgeable staff, and trainers. Definitely recommend friends and family.

The completeness nd detail of the AIARE-1 course was exceptional. All of the instructors were very knowledgeable and down to earth. I came away with the foundation to build on for more backcountry adventure.

CWRAG facilitated our team-building retreat and they did an amazing job and deserve kudos. We were thoroughly impressed with the planning process and Amazing Race event we engaged in at Eldorado Canyon State Park. It was a good combination of activities and reflection, was inclusive, and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend and overheard colleagues contemplating using this vendor for future team-building events.

Fantastic experience. My guide was knowledgeable, resourceful, and wonderful to share an 8-hour hike with!

Ask for the rafting guide that wears a blue sparkly helmet, he was very entertaining. Overall experience with rafting and ziplining was great!

The guides, Alex and Josh, were great, very knowledgeable and accommodating. We enjoyed our trip down the Colorado with them.

I took the Level 1 AIARE course with CWRAG and i couldnt recommend them enough. Josh, Jill and Cindy are incredibly knowledgeable and made the large amount of information easy to digest and fun to learn. 10/10.

Had a great rafting experience with Chelsea! Definitely recommend booking with Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides.

Josh and Jill were excellent instructors with an amazing amount of experience. Highly recommended.

Very clean wet suits includedFun friendly staffEquipment in great conditionOnly problem is the water level is low for this time of year. But they do t control the weatherSo you could do intermediate instead of beginner if you have rafted once or twice

Had an awesome weekend doing their AIARE Level 1 course. Josh and his team are very knowledgable and experienced instructors, would highly recommend!

Took AIARE1 in Feb 2019. Instructors were excellent and incredibly experienced.

I recently participated in an AIARE Level 1 course and was very impressed! The course instructors are extremely knowledgeable and did a great job of providing a fun and educational experience. If youre interested in getting into the backcountry this winter, I would highly recommend taking a course with CWRAG before venturing into avalanche terrain.

We had a great first time rafting experience, our guide Cory was fantastic!!
