Cancellation & Refund Policy
Your deposit is 50% of the total trip price and is nonrefundable. The remaining balance is due the day before your trip.
If you cancel 15 or more calendar days before your trip, you are eligible for a refund of everything you have paid above the deposit.
If you cancel 8–14 calendar days before your trip, you are eligible for the smaller of 50% of the total trip price or the amount you have paid above the deposit.
If you cancel 7 calendar days or fewer before your trip, no refund is available. If you have paid only the deposit, there is no refundable amount.
For an eligible refund, we deduct only the actual card-processing fee retained by Stripe that is proportional to the refundable balance amount. We exclude fees on the deposit, add no administrative fee, and round the fee deduction down in your favor. A refund cannot be less than $0.
Contact Shelby to request a cancellation. Cancellation timing uses calendar days in Denver time. Shelby handles cancellations and refunds manually, and eligible refunds are processed within 7–10 business days of your cancellation request.
For an existing booking, the policy you accepted at checkout and received in your confirmation email applies.
Contact Shelby about a cancellation“I had an absolutely incredible experience hiking a 14er with Shelby at Ground Up Adventures! Her expertise about the mountains was incredible and her enthusiasm for the mountain was infectious, making the trip both fun and educational. I couldn't have asked for a better guide to share the fun and adventure of conquering a first 14er.”
“Not only did Shelby guide me up 3.5 miles 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! Shelby made me feel empowered and confident so that I could take the trail on my own next time!”
