BEST OF THE WEMINUCHE BACKPACKING 🏕️
❗️2023 DATES NOW OPEN FOR BOOKING

✅ JULY 25 — 29
✅ AUGUST 8 — 12
✅ AUGUST 30 — SEPTEMBER 3
✅ SEPTEMBER 12 — 16

The Classic Trek through Colorado’s Iconic Wilderness
This 5 day 4 night backpacking trip traverses the incomparable Weminuche Wilderness in the San Juan Mountains. We’ll see areas like Elk Creek, the Colorado Trail, the Continental Divide, and many of Colorado’s most remote Centennial 13’ers. This is the ultimate wilderness trekking trip in Colorado’s largest and most remote wilderness area. Awe-inspiring scenery, uncrowded trails, and the perfect trip itinerary make this an unforgettable experience for those who really want to see the best of what Colorado and the Weminuche has to offer backcountry enthusiasts.

We have updated this trip for the Summer of 2023 to incorporate an even more inspiring route through the Weminuche, passing through some of the most remote and beautiful mountain terrain in all of Colorado if not the entire mountain west. The updated custom route is the culmination of years of detailed knowledge of the Weminuche Wilderness on the part of San Juan Mountain Guides and tends to avoid the more popular areas of the range. Come and join us this summer on one of the most adventure packed and unique trips you’ll ever experience!

Itinerary Note

The Best of the Weminuche backpacking trip is offered from Tuesday – Saturday so that participants have the opportunity to travel to Ouray (Monday) and then have Sunday to travel home, enjoy Ouray, Silverton, or Telluride – or however else you might like to use that day. Either way, this 5 day trip is exactly the trip you’ve been looking for to experience one of Colorado’s iconic backcountry destinations!

Strawberry Nerds, Peanut Butter Cookie, Ginger, Caramel Latte. These are just a few of the flavors of @brownchickenbrowncowicecream that we have available at our shop! 🍦

After your @ourayviaferrata trip, or your ascent of Mt. Sneffels, treat yourself to some ice cream for some recovery fuel!

One of our guides, Dawn, is the mastermind behind these treats. She’s a wizard on ice climbs and with ice cream!

💙 THE ALPINE LAKES TRAVERSE: Remote Backpacking in the Weminuche Wilderness 💙

This 6 day 5 night backpacking adventure is a trip that only The Local Experts – San Juan Mountain Guides – with its over a quarter century of experience – can offer. We take you into the highest, hidden, and most beautiful alpine lakes in the Weminuche Wilderness of the San Juan Mountains. You will be traveling and camping in areas that very few people enjoy the privilege of knowing that they even exist, let alone have visited. If you have an adventurous spirit and love camping by pristine alpine lakes below breathtaking peaks, then this is the trip for you.

This is the true definition of “off-the-beaten path” and represents years of knowledge and information about the best routes through the heart of Colorado’s finest wilderness area. You’ll see all the classic basins in the Weminuche Wilderness such as Vestal Basin, Stormy Gulch, Leviathan Lake, Jagged Mountain and much much more!

2023 DATES NOW LIVE:

* AUGUST 7 — 12
* SEPTEMBER 4 — 9

Visit our website to book your spot today!
