  • Admire several nearby peaks during the climb, including Mount Buckskin.

Description

There are a number of amazing peaks to climb throughout the Colorado Rocky Mountains, many of which are near Vail. Several of those peaks exceed a dizzying 4,000 meters. One of those peaks is Mount Arkansas. At 4,205 meters, the mountain is an amazing sight to behold. However, on this full day trip, you will not just be admiring the mountain, you will get to climb it as well!

Not only are the views you will get from the summit of Mount Arkansas unbelievable, but the views you will get to enjoy throughout the climb are absolutely stunning. You will get to see a number of great peaks. Some examples include Mount Democrat, Mount Buckskin and the Traver Peak. Furthermore, you will also get to see the South Gore range, along with the Mosquito, Sawatch and Elk peaks. Thus providing you with a tremendous opportunity to see why the Rockies are so majestic.

For the climb itself, while it is not exceedingly difficult, you should be in good physical condition. Past experience is a plus as well.

Starting in the wonderful town of Vail, this climbing trip to the top of Mount Arkansas will definitely leave a lasting impression upon you. So, if you want some great climbing memories in one of the most famous mountain ranges in the world, just send us a request. We look forward to guiding you.

We can also take you to the top of Handies Peak on this full day adventure.

Ended up booking a one-night-and-one-day hike summiting Mt Shasta because Mt Rainier was booked out.

I really loved it. Intro to rock climbing was an amazing experience. Explore-share team were so helpful in the process. The trip that I chose in the first place was not available and they managed to find alternatives and offer me the best possible solution in that situation. In the end I had a wonderful day and could not be happier!

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

It would have been helpful to know it was suppose to be a Matterhorn prep course. The goals of the group were a little different.

I was very glad to have the Back country ski tour in Montata by following reasons. 1. I had quick replies from my coordinator and guide whenever I asked something; 2. My guide was cool. 3. The tour was well-planned and appropriate duration. 4. Snow was in a good condition. Thank you!!

Poor service from Explore-share! The vendor who provided the actual tour shared with Explore-share that heavy rains prevented them from doing a substantial section of the tour. I was not notified. The vendor also offered a substantial discount for what we were able to do and this was not shared with me either!

Neil was our guide and he was amazing! We did Camelback mountain climbing and he knew all about it and the other nearby mountains. Lots of great info and fun. I took my two boys, 9 and 11 years old plus climbed myself (44 years old). So perfect for all ages and skill levels. Definitely worth doing!!!

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!
