Please make travel arrangements as soon as
possible. Higher rates and lack of lodging availability are common
headaches for those who wait. We ask that you arrive two nights
prior to your trip departure. This allows time for high altitude
acclimation, final equipment preparations, and our pre-trip orientation
day.
Vail/Beaver Creek Travel
can help you book all your travel reservations with discounted
airfares and possible direct flights into the Vail/Beaver Creek
Jet Center in Eagle. We request that you arrive at least two
nights prior to your trip departure. This allows time for proper
altitude acclimation. When you arrive in the area, please call
our office to confirm your arrival and any pre-trip arrangements.
We recommend that individuals
protect their investment in a trip by purchasing Trip Cancellation
/ Interruption Insurance. It will reimburse you for non-refundable
costs due to unexpected cancellations and other possible interruptions.
CSA Travel Protection at 1-800-348-9505, can help with your travel
insurance needs. Paragon Guides cannot be responsible for cancellations
inside our 45 day cancellation policy.
Lodging should
be arranged for nights prior to the trip as well as following.
Driving time from Denver International Airport to Vail is approximately
2.5 hours. Regular van shuttles are available through CME Travel.
Participants wishing to make travel arrangements departing from
Vail / Avon on the trip return day should do so after 5:00 pm
or otherwise arrange lodging in the area. Keep in mind that a
snowstorm can slow down a tight travel schedule.
The Orientation day begins with a meeting at
our Backcountry Cabin at the Arrowhead Ski Area ( 2 miles west
of Beaver Creek and Avon) the day prior to your trip departure.
Please let our office know if you will need a ride. The meeting
allows us the opportunity to get acquainted with each other,
discuss the route, gear, and logistics along with answering last
minute questions. Please arrive ready to ski, bike or hike and
bring your pack and gear with you. Our Backcountry Center is
located on the mountain at Arrowhead . All trips depart from
and return to Arrowhead or individual lodging in the Avon / Beaver
Creek / Vail area.
On the morning of your
trip departure, we will pick you up at your lodging or meet you
at a pre-arranged location. Specific meeting times and places
are arranged at the Orientation meeting but generally are between
7:00 - 8:30 am. Following breakfast, usually a favorite local's
restaurant, we proceed to the trailhead and head out on the trail.
