With the highest concentration of peaks over 14,000 feet in the U.S., Colorado is best explored on foot. While the soaring summits of the Rocky Mountain State have earned it fame, the diversity of its landscapes, from desert canyons to alpine meadows, offers a stunning range of hiking experiences.

Deserts, canyons, and mesas are all waiting to be discovered on an active adventure through the state. Though the vast expanse of the “Great American Desert” once challenged westward pioneers, today’s supported hiking trips offer a far more comfortable way to experience Colorado’s natural grandeur.

You’ll feel like you’re on top of the world hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. Spanning 415 square miles, this protected alpine and subalpine landscape is a wonderland of granite peaks and snow-capped giants rising from the Great Plains. The Rockies also provide vital habitat for wildlife, including elk, bighorn sheep, cougars, coyotes, and even the elusive wolverine.
