I really appreciated their knowledge of the park in planning and the flexibility throughout the day as we explored the park. They helped me plan for the change in altitude so I was comfortable during my trip. My only regret was that I didn't have enough room to pack a second lens, but that is my own fault. read less

Loved our trip with Will! Couldn't be happier with Wilderness Rides and guides. Our Guide Will was absolutely amazing. Hugely accommodating, knowledgeable, helpful, and fun to be around. We have zero complaints. Highlight of our trip

It was excellent-we were able to to to two different spots. Will took us to climbs that felt challenging for our son, an experienced indoor climber and for the rest of us who haven't done much climbing at all. We felt more than safe every step of the way, got to see some amazing views, challenged ourselves, learned and had a lot of fun. I highly recommend Will/CO Wilderness for groups of varying abilities and families. I was so pleased that we all had fun despite our different levels of experience with climbing. read less

We worked with Gabby at the office and then had Will as our guide. The experience was fantastic. We are experienced hikers but are new to rock climbing. The Cables Route was just the challenge we were looking for and Will made us feel safe and comfortable during the whole technical part of the day. Super knowledgeable and professional. Would totally recommend this experience to our friends. Will…you were great bud, thank you so much. read less

Hiked Royal Arch first - fresh off the plane and into altitude, then tried mountain biking for the first time the following day. Will was an excellent guide on both, and in particular it was clear he designed the bike route just for us - perfect mix of challenging without being overwhelming. He gave great mountain biking instruction, and was a really nice person to spend time with. We have pretty high standards and Will and CWRAG exceeded in all categories. read less

Overall a great fun hiking day. Thank you Jenn and Tom. read less

Gabe and Will guided our large group. They simplified all the logistics, avoid us getting caught out in storms, cooked great meals for the group, and shared knowledge on the landscape, flora, and fauna. Super fun and professional. Thanks again guys!

Just finished an excellent trip with Will and Gabe in Rocky Mountain National Park. They steered us through a bit of spotty weather to hit some truly awesome views. Would highly recommend.

Awesome mountain bike experience today with Justin. So much fun. Best 20 mile bike ride ever.

Amazing trip and guides. We loved the experience. Yay
