Colorado Backcountry

Colorado Backcountry is Crested Butte's only locally owned hiking, biking and skiing guide service.  We love these mountains, and we want to share them with you - responsibly, respectfully, privately.

"Experiences In Nature!" - We travel softly, minimizing our impact, maximizing your connection to the mountains and the wildlife!

"Adventures in Motion!" - Specializing in custom trips, we scale the day's objectives to you.  We offer a spectrum of activities from relaxing and scenic family outings, high-value skills clinics, adventurous day trips, and multi-day mountain traverses.

Owned by Ben and Janae Pritchett since 2006, we bring over 35 years of combined experience exploring the mountains around Crested Butte.
