Colorado holds a special place in the memories of most people who have ever experienced a hiking, backpacking or camping adventure in the Rocky Mountains. Many remember warm summer nights spent under the stars during a family trip. Others vividly remember backpacking or hiking with their youth groups during high school. Colorado wilderness backpacking trips offer a tremendous opportunity for adventure, learning and development.

Since 1983, Noah's Ark has been offering uniquely tailored guided adventures to individuals, youth and church groups, families and other groups that have little or no experience camping in Colorado. Year after year, many of these same people return to explore Colorado with us and make extraordinary memories in the process.

Our company is permitted to run trips in the Pike, San Isabel, and Gunnison National Forests.

COLLEGIATE PEAKS WILDERNESS AREA
We operate our trips using our permitted access to the popular Collegiate Peaks Wilderness Area. Boasting eight of the tallest peaks in the lower 48 states, lush mountain valleys, clear alpine streams, and over 105 miles of hiking trails spread across 166,938 acres of land, the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness Area is truly one of the most beautiful places in the country.

BUFFALO PEAKS WILDERNESS AREA
Noah's Ark also operates trips using permits for the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness Area, a region that gains its name from two high-domed peaks that are visible from miles around.
