Paragon Guides has been providing
quality outdoor adventures since 1978, throughout the White River
National Forest of the central Rocky Mountain region and along
the now famous 10th Mountain Division Hut System. We offer a
variety of backcountry adventures including hut-to-hut backcountry
skiing, llama trekking, mountain biking, wilderness camping,
mountaineering, backcountry fishing and classic rock climbing.
Our participatory approach to guiding has given many individuals
and families a true sense of personal involvement in their adventure
experience.
“We
invite you to make your own adventure, discover the mountains,
and experience the gift that the mountains reserve for those
who put forth the effort."
"The skiing was terrific, your
skills and companionship were the best and each trip was perfect
for us."
Tom
from New Jersey
"Guides were excellent in
terms of experience, ability to teach, assessment of our capabilities,
knowledge of the area, naturalist knowledge, commitment to making
the trip enjoyable for them and for us and basic philosophy of
the outdoors. "
James from Pennsylvania
"We are home and reflecting
on what a wonderful trip that we had with Paragon Guides. I
want to speak for the entire group when I say that Donnie,
Pam, and Meredith were the best guides that we have ever had
in our 25 years. Their professionalism, attention to
details, attention to our needs....all outstanding, not to
mention the great meals that were prepared. The spirit
of adventure is alive and well, thanks to Paragon."
Suzanne
from California
"...I wanted to
thank you for such a great experience on our recent time and
trip together. Your expertise and wonderful sense of humor
made for one of the best adventures I have had. My trip was
thoroughly educational and enjoyable in all respects and I
fully intend to do it again next year. Its success was entirely
due to the expertise and absolutely wonderful companionship
of Don Shefchik and Mike Holmes. They are the ultimate. I think
one would have quite happily gone down on the titanic, if they
had been guiding! Actually, if they had been guiding, I quite
sure the titanic would never have hit the damn iceberg in the
first place! Anyway, Don and Mike are the absolute best, in
all my various treks around the world over the years, and you
are extremely fortunate to have them in the firm. It was a
real privilege to be with them. ”
Mike
from New York (Mike makes us blush…)
“What a happy
man! G—was just saying ‘I think that was the best
time I’ve ever had skiing!’ Wow! You all were wonderful.”
Nancy
from Texas
“The llamas were more wonderful than we expected!” — Estelle
from Israel “Our Guide was excellent. I appreciated his
helpful instruction and he paced the trip for the right balance
of challenge and downtime.”
Scott from Illinois
“I
am going to quit skiing now because I can’t imagine any
trip that could come close to this. Conditions and company
were great!”
Peter from Maryland
“Both guides
were understanding, very patient and helpful in accommodating
each person’s skills. Nice to have the guide’s
knowledge of the flora and fauna plus philosophy. Excellent
overall skills and an accommodating personality. I would highly
recommend your trips.”
Vail to Aspen ski trip Feb. 2006 “Excellent!!
Loved the huts! The guides could not be better!! Perfect guides!
I wanted to let you know what a wonderful time I had on your
trip. Everything was perfect!”
a very enthusiastic
Christine from St. Louis
“I had a great time last
Sunday. Donny made a terrific choice for the peak to ascent.
We had a blast.”
Claude from Canada
“I always have
a good day with Donny, the question now is what will we do
next?”
Dave
from Maryland
“Yes, I had a really nice
experience with Mike and Don in Colorado.”
Fumio from Japan Many
trip participants return to us year after year.
They have become
extended family and bring their friends and loved ones on each
next adventure. We would love to show you our favorite places
in the Colorado High Country.
