About our Peak Ascent Guided Hikes
Guided Peak Ascents
Sure, 14ers get the hype—but the real magic often lives on Colorado’s quieter 12,000’ and 13,000’ peaks. Fewer people, more space, and just as much challenge, beauty, and reward.
Summit County is packed with incredible options just minutes away. Peaks like Mt. Royal, Peak 1, Buffalo Mountain, and Lenawee Mountain offer stunning views, wild terrain, and unforgettable days- without the traffic jam to the top. Best part? Most are within 30 minutes of our Silverthorne base.
Price: Full Day: $229 per person for a group of 4 | Ages 12+
Check In: Plan for a full day in the mountains with an early alpine start. Your guide will confirm the exact meeting time based on current conditions.

Guided 14er Summit
Our guided 14er climbs are designed for those looking to take on a real mountain objective with the support, knowledge, and confidence that comes from going with an experienced guide. These peaks aren’t easy, but that’s exactly what makes the summit worth it. Possible peaks include Quandary Peak (14,265’), our local 14er and a perfect introduction to high-altitude summits. With a straightforward route, 3,500 feet of elevation gain, and sweeping views of the Tenmile Range, Quandary delivers a true mountain experience year-round. There is also
Grays Peak (14,270’) & Torreys Peak (14,267’). Take on one or go for both. These iconic Front Range peaks offer expansive views and a bigger objective for those ready to push a little further. Our routes avoid the busiest trailheads for a quieter, more enjoyable climb. or go for the double summit option and add Torreys Peak via the connecting ridge for a true challenge- more distance, more vertical, and two summits in a single day.
We handle the route planning, timing, and conditions so you can focus on the experience: steady climbs, big views, and the moment you step onto the summit of a Colorado 14er.

How can I prepare for a Colorado peak ascent?
Silverthorne sits at 9,035 feet, and most towns in Summit County are at similar or higher elevations. At altitude, your body has to work harder, and it’s common to feel the effects- like shortness of breath, trouble sleeping, elevated heart rate, or changes in appetite. For peak ascents, we strongly recommend arriving at least 2–3 days early to acclimate, especially if you’ll be traveling above 13,000 feet. Taking time to adjust can make a big difference in how you feel and perform on your climb. Altitude affects everyone differently- and even the same person can experience it differently from trip to trip. If you have a history of respiratory, cardiac, or other medical conditions (including asthma, COPD, diabetes, CHF), or if you are pregnant, please consult your doctor before your trip. Our guides are trained to recognize signs of altitude illness and prioritize your safety at all times. They may adjust plans if needed based on conditions and how the group is feeling.
