GUIDED BACK COUNTRY TRIPS

Flat Tops Wilderness & Transfer Trail Trip
August 4-6. $630./vehicle. Limit 5 vehicles.
We’ll meet in Glenwood Springs CO for this trip. You may want to
soak in the famous Hot Springs and wander the streets of this
historic mountain town. We will hop onto the Transfer Trail and climb
up out of the canyon to gain almost 2000 feet above the Colorado
River Canyon for a fantastic view of the Roaring Fork Valley all the
way south to Aspen. This historic route was used by Ute Indians and
trappers in the early days and we will trace the track up to the edge
of the Flat Tops Wilderness area. There are a couple ways to get
around the wilderness area and we will review the maps to see what
the group thinks is best. Camping will be primitive and around 9200
feet. The wildflowers should still be blooming and the terrain is
moderate rocky and possibly muddy. For vehicles with good tires
and solid recovery points. Self sufficient camping, 5 gallons gas
extra, CB radio.

Northern CO Adventure One spot just opened up!
August 10-14. $925./vehicle. Limit 6 vehicles.

This trip meets in the Fort Collins, CO area and drives through horse country, the
Roosevelt National Forest, the Steamboat Springs area including Rabbit Ears and
Hahn's Peak. Classic Colorado Continental Divide adventure!

"Bill Burke...gave everyone "double" what
they expected. How many can say that
about a travel experience?"
B. Kniegge, 12/03

"From the ease of signing up to all of my email, my
questions and your quick responses, to the first-rate
instruction and camaraderie I thank you both for
organizing such a sensational trip."

-----------------------------------------------------

We suggest pre-trip check-up for your vehicle to catch important stuff before you get on the trails such as fluid levels, belts and hoses, filters, wheel bearings, check brakes, current registration and insurance, etc.

As part of the conditions of our permits for many of our overnight camping trips, portable toilets are required by the BLM and USFS. As responsible 4-wheelers, we must address the issue of human waste ethics. That's right, we're talking about poop! Please be prepared for proper disposal. We use and recommend the PETT.

BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF THE MAZE TRIP - April 2004: There was snow, there was mud, there was sunshine, there was adventure! 4-Wheeling America's much-anticipated trip into the Maze district of Canyonlands National Park was an unparalleled off-road adventure into a land hundreds of miles from the nearest gas station. It was a trip back in time, almost unequalled in this generation from pectographs that pre-date the Anasazi civilization to abandoned mines and claims, to an old ranch with a complete Model A Ford! The group explored slot canyons on foot and camped in places that most people only dream about.

Hole-in-the-Rock Adventure w/Elephant Hill. Remote, historic trail in and out. 60 miles of fantastic slickrock 4-wheeling. This is a fairly rugged route. Includes camping out each night. People must be self-sufficient as far as food, camping gear, vehicle set-up and spare parts.

Dear Bill, I can’t say enough good things about the Hole in the Rock trip. It was a fabulous mix of terrain (from slick rock to pine forest), scenery, and history combined with great camping and fireside conversation. Your coaching made the
4 wheeling an enjoyable opportunity to improve my skills on challenging trails. The trip introduced me to country that will be a pleasure to further explore for years to come. This was the complete package: on all levels, a most excellent adventure. On a personal note, I want to thank you for being a supportive, encouraging, knowledgeable, patient, and humorous trip leader. Thanks again for a wonderful, memorable experience. Eric Ball, WA 2008

pretty much get
through anything,
with any vehicle?"
(Chu)

 not have done this trip  without him."
