A passageway into the legendary Colorado wilderness
 Noah's Ark is deeply committed to wilderness education and the wilderness experience. We depend solely on the wilderness for our activities and want to instill a strong sense of environmental responsibility in each guest. Noah's Ark teaches practical skills, such as Leave No Trace, that equip individuals with the knowledge necessary for natural resource preservation and protection. We are committed to caring for the environment and feel that each person who journeys with us should be as well.

Three Day Colorado Wilderness Backpacking Trips
Experience more in three days than most people do in an entire lifetime! Descend deep into mountain valleys where the wilderness stands in striking contrast to the civilization you've left behind. Ascend towering 14,000-foot peaks and look out across a landscape that now seems small and insignificant in light of the perspective you have gained atop one of the highest points in the country. Or, simply find time for reflection and relaxation beside a mountain stream as your guides take care of all the details.
Each of these things can be accomplished during a three day wilderness backpacking trip with Noah's Ark. Three day trips can be arranged to cover varied distances, from 5 to 15 miles, depending on the desire and ability of the group. Call for details.
Four Day Colorado Wilderness Backpacking Trips
Push yourself and your group beyond their comfort level.
While a four day trip consists of everything mentioned in the three day trip description, it also allows an extra day for additional programming, such as solo times, initiative games and topical discussions. If you are looking for a trip with the potential to truly change the lives of each participant, this is it! Four day trips can be arranged to cover varied distances, from 10 to 20 miles, depending on the desire and ability of the group. Call for details.
Five and Six Day Colorado Wilderness Backpacking Trips
The ultimate in wilderness backpacking experiences!
Allowing the most flexibility in terms of trip itineraries, distances, and programming
options, these five and six day wilderness backpacking trips can be arranged to
cover varied distances, from 15 to 25 miles, depending on the desire and ability
of the group. Call for details.
