Adventurous Hikes
If your sole purpose of coming to Colorado is to conquer one of the famous 14ers, the Beaver Creek Hiking Center can help you with that too. These hikes are for the more experienced hikers, who are well adjusted to the altitude and ready to spend the whole day on the trail among beautiful vistas and fields of wild flowers. The effort is well worth it but hikers are advised to be prepared for more challenging terrain with elevation gains ranging from 3,000 to 4,500 feet. These adventure hikes can we book as private or group experience as well.
