GUIDED HIKING & NATURALIST TOURS
At Further Adventures we pride ourselves with presenting high-quality, safe, environmentally-conscious, fun adventures. We make sure you are comfortable, well-fed, and grinning from ear-to-ear when you return. We offer a wide variety of naturalist tours along the multitude of trails that abound in the San Juan Mountain range. We can custom design each tour to meet your interests such as flora and fauna, waterfalls, geology, medicinal plants, history, general information about the area or other focus. Trips can be designed to also meet your level of fitness and adaptation to altitude. Whether you are a proverbial “mountain goat” ready to leap up the mountains or are just looking for more of a stroll in this magnificent landscape, we will make sure your tour matches your abilities.

Telluride’s Treasures
Nestled in a box canyon in the San Juan Mountains, Telluride takes your breath away with its grandeur and beauty at first view. Yet few visitors explore far beyond Main street. The highest concentration of “Fourteeners” in North America, gushing waterfalls, ghost towns, fields of wildflowers and colorful local history, make Telluride, Colorado an explorer’s dreamscape. Close to the quaint mountain town or deep in the wilderness are unlimited possibilities for discovery. Telluride’s trails lead you to old mine ruins, fields of wildflowers, hidden mountain lakes and unique flora and fauna. From moderate to challenging there are adventures for people of all ages and abilities.
