Step into Colorado’s quiet side. From our Silverthorne Basecamp, we offer guided snowshoe tours and rentals that make it easy to explore snow-covered trails and untouched backcountry terrain. Winter in the mountains is peaceful, scenic, and surprisingly accessible even if it’s your first time on snowshoes.
Snowshoeing is simple to learn, fun for all ages, and a great way to move your body while soaking in big alpine views.
Traveling solo or looking to connect? Join one of our Salt Lick Trail group tours every Tuesday at 8AM or 1PM.
Hike a tranquil loop around a pristine mountain meadow, explore a shady canyon or embark on a heart pounding trek up a snow shrouded peak to witness spectacular winter views. Our guides know where to go—based on your preferences, weather, and snow conditions—to provide you with a safe and enjoyable snowshoeing guided tour. We offer half-day tours (about 4 hours) and full-day tours (about 6-8 hours). Snowshoe rentals are included for each tour. All trips are private except Tuesdays which are great for meeting new people or solo travelers looking to save some money while enjoying a beautiful trip!

Many outfitters advertise a base rate and add booking fees, processing fees, or other charges at checkout. We don’t.
What you see is the total you’ll pay- clear, transparent, and all-in from the start.
We generally offer snowshoeing tours to children 5 and up. Exceptions can be made depending on your child’s size and ability.
Colorado Adventure Guides’ priority is keeping our patrons and students safe. Our instructors are trained to recognize potentially hazardous situations in the backcountry; they plan and operate accordingly. Prior to the start of any course or backcountry trip you will be asked to complete a brief health history. The failure to disclose pertinent information on the health history form could result in serious harm, even death, to the signing participant, other guests and/or the guide. All information submitted is completely confidential; it is for the guide’s use and would only be shared in the event of an emergency with medical and/or rescue personnel directly caring for the guest. Your ability to enjoy the adventure depends on your health and fitness, thus it’s recommended that you are in good physical condition.
All of our guided snowshoe tours are booked private and custom and priced accordingly. If you are looking for a group trip option please contact us to see if we have any group trips available on the schedule.
