Guide Services for the Huts

Engaging the services of a professional guide may be the best way for you to enjoy your backcountry adventure to the huts. If you are unsure of your backcountry skills, unfamiliar with the area, or desire the added services of a guided trip, consider using a guide service to access the hut system.

In winter, a guide's knowledge of the hut system and the mountain environment can enhance your backcountry experience. A guide service can provide education and instruction in winter backcountry travel and safety. Traveling with an experienced guide service will expand your own skills in navigation, avalanche awareness, hut operations, and the knowledge needed to travel safely and efficiently in winter environments.

In summer, a guide service can help you plan an excursion that will provide a memorable experience for your family or friends. Guides provide trip planning, transportation, food, gear rentals, and instruction on a variety of topics. The huts provide access to alpine peaks, streams, and high mountain lakes, along with fields of wildflowers and an environment teeming with flora and fauna. Whether hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, or llama trekking, there is a guide service that can assist you in discovering Colorado's 10th Mountain Division Hut System.

U.S. Forest Service-permitted guide services are listed below. These are the only U.S. Forest Service-permitted guide services available for the huts and it is illegal to use other, unauthorized, outfitter/guide services.
