I'm not the most outdoorsy person by far, but we had such a great time snowshoeing! Our guide was very patient and helpfull - she knew a lot about the area and surrounding nature along the trek. Being from Texas we are not the most adept people in the snow - I fell three times, got right back up again... More

We had a great time hiking the White Rock Canyon with Karen. The hike was challenging, but within our capabilities and the views were superb. Karen was flexible when we unexpectedly had snow in April and was able to change the day and advise on a hike suitable to the weather conditions. Lunch was tasty and Karen was very knowledgeable...

Spent a great day hiking with my 12 year old son and our guide Karen, She was extremely knowlegeable about the geology, botany and animal life in and around our hiking grounds. She was able to pique my son's interest during the 4 hour adventure without dumbing down the experience. The trip was tailored to our hiking abilities and was... More

Drove up the mountain and took a walk at 12,000 feet in the snow. No way to describe the beauty. I'm going back!

My boyfriend and I just finished our 2nd snowshoeing trip with Jon from Outspire. Great trip, beautiful snow and good company. We have really enjoyed both of our outings. This is a great company from booking with Karen, our outing with Jon and the follow up after the trip with Karen. They provide all the equipment, snacks and water. They... More

Karen was extremely responsive and friendly in every interaction. She assigned us a guide that was highly skilled, fun and accountable. She arrived at our hotel early to pick us up, maneuvered though the mountains with care (on and off the road) and was a delight to be around. I would highly recommend working with Karen --the owner--and her guides... More

We had a wonderful afternoon snowshoeing adventure guided by Karen. She was a delightful guide. Very informative about the environment and a pleasure to talk with while we were on the trail. She was also very conscientious about being sure we were not having any difficulties acclimating to the altitude while hiking. We were picked up at our hotel in... More

We told Karen we were avid hikers but hadn't hiked in months. We told her we wanted scenic but to also learn about where we were and some context. Karen exceeded our expectations; she brought us on a very scenic hike with almost 360 degree views, all while providing us insight into the geography, geology, history, mineralogy, and local perspective....
