Quality outdoor adventure since 1978
Specializing in custom itineraries, we tailor every trip to your unique needs, from your experience level to group size and mountain comfort.
Camping
The White River National Forest, the Holy Cross Wilderness, and Eagle’s Nest Wilderness hold so many spectacular places to explore and we have many favorite routes to share with you. Camping allows for greater flexibility on destinations and having our llamas carry the gear allows for bringing a few extra creature comforts.
A great way to summit Mount of the Holy Cross is to plan on making a base camp and summiting the following morning.
Choose between backpacking or using llamas, each have their own benefits. We will then work with you to plan a route designed around your timeframe and goals for the trip. Camping allows you to choose your own dates, experience some amazing trails, and with the llamas you can even make it a little comfy!

what’s included
Gear
Camping is gear intensive! Tents, sleeping bags, pads, kitchen kits, first-aid, repair, and other gear hold many people back from experiencing camping in the Colorado High Country. Paragon Guides has all the gear though, provided with our fully guided trips. Our llamas will carry the main burden, lightening your personal pack. Or we can trim down and backpack, making for a nimble team.
If you have your own gear and need to rent a few pieces, we can work with that as well. Our guides will work with you to create the route and details for a complete trip plan.
Meals
All meals are provided on our fully guided trips. The guides are mighty cooks as well, keeping you fueled for the trail. Let us know of any dietary or special accommodations or celebrations we can assist with.
Custom trip Planning
We will custom build your trip based on your group’s objectives, experience, and fitness levels. Trips are custom designed and we will itemize any additional fees such as additional guides, special food, etc.
