Why Adventure Outdoors

“Felt like a VIP the entire time”

As a solo traveler, you can sometimes feel lost in the shuffle—but not here. I booked the rafting and bike combo and was guided every step of the way with patience and care. They even made sure I got some great photos. The gear was spotless and clearly well-maintained. Hands down one of the best outdoor experiences I’ve had in Colorado.

“We felt like the only two people on the mountain”

My partner and I did the horseback ride and cowboy cookout, and it was honestly magical. The wranglers were friendly and made us feel safe, even though we’re not experienced riders. The cookout under the stars? Unreal. The attention to detail, from the food to the friendly banter, made this one of our favorite travel memories together.
