Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides

Description

Description: This loop tour allows you to travel along one of the highest motorable roads in the United States. From the grassy meadows, we drive to the top of the Continental Divide, seeing some of the best vistas, lakes, wildflowers, and wildlife the park has to offer along the way. We provide an in-depth insight into the history and natural history of Colorado beginning about 75 million years ago and covering up to the present day. There will be many opportunities to see the flora (trees and plants), wildlife, historical structures, and expansive vistas as we make about 10-12 stops along this amazing journey. The goal of this tour is to provide a safe and educational experience not found in a guidebook. Note: Outside of summer and early fall, this itinerary will be modified depending upon the snow level and the conditions on Trailridge Road and Old Fall River Road.

Please check to make sure the tour company or outfitter is authorized by the State of Colorado Public Utilities Commission to provide transportation services, including sightseeing. CO PUC . We can be found under PUC #55777 or Boulder Wilderness Shuttle LLC. If the tour company or outfitter is not authorized, chances are they are able to charge cheaper rates because of inadequate or lack of insurance or minimum levels or poor safety standards. Outfitters (hiking, biking, rafting, mountaineering, climbing, etc) are not required in the State of Colorado to have transportation authority or insurance to transport passenger. Thus, your safety is put at risk or should anything happen, there is little or no recourse.

However, Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides (CWRAG) is the premier Sightseeing Tour company in Colorado because we are the ONLY company of the few authorized PUC companies that is also a permitted guide company in the Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado State Parks, and Colorado National Parks. What that means is our guides are true educators familar with the parks and all the local history and natural history to make the parks come alive. We also are the only company allowed to get out of the bus or van and combine walking / sightseeing tours in order to better appreciate the parks and wilderness areas.

We aim to provide unique experiences that cannot be done anywhere else in North America. As always we have three main goals: 1) Ensuring your safety; 2) Facilitating unique experiences that last as lifetime; 3) Providing great quality education and service.

The other big difference that we provide is support. We NEVER EVER just drop you off in the mountains, but have a recorder and communication system that monitors if you are overdue or should have returned. Our guides are trained in wilderness education and safety and provide a more indepth understanding of the geography, history, wildlife and vegetation of the local area. We also provide the education to travel in the mountains and outdoors safely. If you want access, education, and support, we are the Gold Standard for guide and transportation companies.
