Best Unique experience in Telluride

5.00Wow, the half day ice climbing experience was amazing in every way! Our family of 4 (me-50, my wife-49, and two boys-13/11) all loved it and made it to the top. Our guide (John) was great. He reached out the day before to walk us through the day, what to bring and what to expect. He then picked us up at the house we were renting which was very convenient. A short 20 minute ride later, we were at the trail head for a 15 minute hike to the box canyon where we climbed. John was patient and gave us some great instructions before having each of us complete a short practice session. Each person takes a turn climbing individually and it’s amazing that you can go from never having swung an ice pick or wearing crampons to doing both while scaling an ice wall. It was an amazing experience made better by a great guide (John) and I’m so glad we tried this. Highly recommend!

5.00We had an absolutely amazing experience with mountain trip guides. We did a half day ice climbing lesson. I was with my two boys ages 15 and 11. Our guide was Carly who was incredible. In just a short period of time she had us climbing with ease. It was extremely safe and comfortable. Her knowledge is outstanding as is Todd and the rest of the crew. If you are looking for an activity to do one afternoon if you are not skiing, I would absolutely recommend this. It is such a unique adventure, and one that we will be back to do again.
Excellent fun.

5.00This was a bucket list item for many of us and we were a tad apprehensive. Carly our guide was fabulous. Her calm demeanor and clear instruction helped us to scale the ice. This was a wonderful experience that we will do again.

5.00Mountain Trip is hands down one of the best guide services I have ever used. Our guide Carly was absolutely awesome. I can’t wait to book my next adventure with them the next time I’m in Telluride.

5.00Awesome time! So recommended for anyone traveling. It is such a new and fun experience. Steven, our guide, was also such a delight to meet and talk with. He made sure we were always comfortable and taught us so much about this CO region and the world of ice climbing. It was a fun experience and really unforgettable.
Had a great time and our guide was excellent.

Ouray ice climbing, another great day with mountain trip!!

5.00My son and I have shared many adventures over the years with the team at mountain trip. Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, and the Alaskan range to name just a few. Every trip has been exciting, fulfilling (some arguably life changing), and done with the utmost professionalism and safety. Our recent trip to Ouray to ice-climb "the fingers" in the gorge was no exception. Jesse, our guide, and friend, was excellent. He went over the basics we knew and taught us plenty we didn't. Just as we "mastered" one climb he had us on to the next more challenging run. It was an overall great day with photos and memories to last! We have been long term clients and wouldn't climb, trek, back country ski, or summit anything without the mountain team trip with us!
Ice Climbing - amazing experience!!!

5.00Mountain Trip took us on an ice climbing adventure, and it was AMAZING!! My teenage daughter and I went with some friends, and we felt 100% safe and had a blast. It was a truly memorable experience. Our guides, Harrison and Grant, are top notch. GO DO IT!! You'll never forget it.
