“I decided to book my first ever backpacking and camping trip with GUA and it’s one of the best decisions I have made.

Not only did Shelby guide me to the most dreamy camp site, she provided an abundance of knowledge, supplies, made me feel comfortable and safe, and provided some of the yummiest food and warm drinks!

She made me feel empowered and confident that I could take the trail on my own next time! Shelby knows her stuff! Book the trip and make that next adventure happen!“

“We had an absolutely incredible experience with Ground Up Adventures, all thanks to our amazing guide, Shelby Mann! After a few failed attempts to summit a 14er on our own, my husband and I decided we needed some expert help, and Shelby was the perfect choice. When summit day came, we learned so much from her.

But what really stood out was how Shelby continued to support us after the hike. She gave us tons of resources to help us on future adventures, making us feel confident and excited to tackle more challenges on our own.

Shelby’s passion for the outdoors and her dedication to helping others shine through in everything she does. 10/10 recommend Ground Up Adventures. Thanks for guiding us to our first successful 14er summit!

“For my first backpacking and camping trip, I knew I wanted to go with an experienced guide. And Shelby was amazing from start to finish. She provided me with more knowledge than I could ever hoped to learn in a weekend.

I cannot begin to explain how much this trip has given me the confidence to start planning my own backpacking trips safely and responsibly. I highly recommend booking with Ground Up Adventures to anyone who wants learn more.

I can’t wait to book my next trip!”
