Backpacking, Mountaineering, and Backcountry Overnight Trips - We can arrange a number of trips depending on the time frame, age, and experience of your group. We require that we maintain a maximum 4 persons per 1 Southwest Adventure Guide for non-technical or climbs of low technical requirements, and a maximum 2:1 ratio for climbs of a technical nature. Our guides and trip leaders are the most highly experienced professionals in the area, and can lead you and your group on a backcountry adventure you won't soon forget!
It is best to email or call (800) 642-5389 to make your reservation.
A Non-technical Mountain Day is characterized by backpacking trips in the San Juan Mountain Range that do not require technical climbing (ropes, harness, etc.) of any kind.
A Mountain Day is characterized by long arduous approaches to camps in the Grenadier Range (Vestal Basin, Jagged Peak, Storm King Peak, etc.) or front country climbs on peaks such as Snowdon Peak or Engineer Mountain.
A Technical Mountain Day is characterized by 4th or 5th class climbing on peaks remote in nature, such as those found in Vestal or Chicago Basins, and throughout the Grenadier Range in the San Juan Mountains.
