The Trip at a Glance
  1. Day 1Meet the group in Buena Vista late in the morning and ride to the trailhead together. After a quick safety brief we hike in, stop for lunch on the trail, and reach camp in the late afternoon to explore, share dinner and rest up.
  2. Day 2Summit day. An early wake-up and breakfast, then we head out to catch an alpine sunrise and summit Mt. Antero in the morning. We head down before afternoon thunderstorms and are back at camp in the early afternoon for a relaxed evening and dinner.
  3. Day 3Breakfast with a view, then we pack up camp and hike out, back at the cars around midday.

A general outline, not a schedule. Pace and timing flex with the group and the weather, and we take as many breaks as we need. You will get a detailed itinerary and packing list before the trip.

From Past Hikers

“Shelby created an unforgettable, meaningful experience for us. As novice hikers, we reached the summit of Mt. Princeton and gained knowledge about safety, navigation, wildlife, and smart hiking techniques.”

Angie H.

“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.”
