Spanning the years since 1991, the passion for connecting people with the outdoors, the mysteries of nature, and the enjoyment of being in wild places continue to be the foundation for adventures with Trailwise Guides. Working together your guides bring an intimate knowledge of what it takes to offer unforgettable trips into the wilderness and backcountry.

What makes our tours unique are the various ingredients that go into making each trip a one-of-a- kind experience. From the customized private tour, to the quality outdoor gear, to the nutritious meals, to the energy efficient transportation, to the beauty of the trail, to the personality of the guide, to you; each tour is an experience that lasts longer than the event itself. We believe in sharing in the “Soul of Outdoor Adventure”... a shared moment in time where its just us and nature. A moment we look back on with laughter, joy, and excitement. To experience the outdoors with us is to experience the nature of Trailwise Guides.
