FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
THINK OF US AS YOUR COLORADO BACKCOUNTRY CONCIERGE
WHAT TO EXPECT
Before heading out into the Colorado backcountry, there are a few items we need to mention.
#1. For Do It Yourself Rentals, you are on your own from the moment you sign the paperwork.
#2. Before leaving our shop, we will review the safety guidelines for your rental.
#3. We will walk you through the paperwork so you know exactly what you are signing and we will instruct you on how to properly load equipment onto the trailers.
#4. For trailering, you will need to have a 2” hitch ball on your vehicle. We do offer a few spares in the shop but do not depend on them being available.
#5. Once paperwork is signed and safety checks have been performed, you will be off on your adventure.
#6. You are responsible for your actions and are required to follow all local, state, and federal laws.
#7. The state of Colorado has 11 National Forest to explore. Each Forest has its own rules and regulations for backcountry travel.
#8. It is your responsibility to follow all trail signs, rules, and regulations. We do not tolerate the acts of breaking forest service laws as it directly effects the amount of land available to motor vehicle access. If we find you breaking the laws, you will be reported to the ranger districts.
#9. To avoid travel infractions, we recommend that you carry with you at all times a topographic map and gazetteer of the area that you plan on exploring. While in the backcountry, it is important to always follow the rules of LNT Principles (Leave No Trace). Lastly, always pack out your trash, do not bring glass on the trails and rivers and leave the wild life alone.
