About Colorado Adventure Guides
Colorado Adventure Guides is a year-round outfitter based in Silverthorne, just a short drive from downtown Breckenridge, offering an impressive roster of more than fifteen different outdoor activities across the Summit County region. Since their founding, they've guided thousands of guests through some of Colorado's most spectacular alpine terrain, operating under permits from the USDA Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management on over 6,000 acres of backcountry.
Their summer lineup includes whitewater rafting on the Colorado and Blue Rivers, guided rock climbing and rappelling, mountain biking excursions, stand-up paddleboarding sessions, and peak ascent expeditions for those looking to bag a Colorado fourteener. When the snow flies, the team pivots to backcountry ski and splitboard touring, ice climbing, snowshoeing, and avalanche safety courses through their AIARE-certified instruction program. Equipment is available through their Backcountry Demo Center, so visitors don't need to travel with specialized gear.
What makes Colorado Adventure Guides stand out is the depth of their guide team — every instructor holds multiple outdoor certifications and lives in the mountains year-round. Whether you're a first-time rafter, an aspiring ice climber, or an experienced backcountry skier preparing for avalanche terrain, the team tailors each trip to the group's ability level and goals. Their small-group format ensures personalised attention and a more immersive experience than the larger bus-tour operators in the area.
