Excellent Mountain Guide Company ("Mountain Trip Guides")
To future prospective clients: Greetings, I realize there are times when a person may read reviews and may ask themselves: Was this person, who submitted the review, paid or compensated in some way to give such a positive review? Well, I can assure you that I was not paid or compensated in anyway. FACT: Mountain Trip Guides are the real deal! They are top notch! I would highly recommend Mountain Trip Guides to you. I greatly appreciated my guide's (Marcus) professionalism. I received clear communication, patience, and empathy. Marcus answered numerous questions that I had. He taught me vital climbing skills and provided an abundance of knowledge, in a relaxed and stable environment. After I completed my course with him, he sent me, via email, pages of additional resources, videos and "real need to know" information for my climbing goals. In conclusion, what you decide is your choice. Yet I would suggest that you put "Mountain Trip Guides" on your "Short List" at the very least, when you are considering hiring a guide service for your next mountain adventure. Safe Travels
Response from the operator: Hey, thank you so much for the absolutely incredible review and vote of confidence! It means the world to us. We're thrilled that you had such a positive and impactful time in the mountains with Marcus, and that he helped you along in your climbing progression in such a meaningful manor. It is always our goal to help build their skills and complete their climbing objectives, whatever that may be. We look forward to climbing with you again and again in the future! Cheers, The Mountain Trip Team

Sneffels with my 14 year daughter
My 14 year old daughter and I climbed Mt Sneffels with Kaylee, a guide with Mountain Trip. Kaylee was an absolute professional. She took excellent care of my daughter and made sure she had a safe and comfortable climb and decent. She also did a great job of pushing me while focusing on the safety of my daughter. Booking the trip was very easy and Andrew was a pleasure to work with. He met me in person in Telluride to prep us for the trip. He is also a pro. It was hard...but an incredible experience. No way we would have completed the trip without Kaylee. I highly recommend. The top of Sneffels is unreal.
Response from the operator: Sid, thanks for taking the time to leave such a detailed review, as well as sharing your experience with us and others! It was a pleasure meeting you and your daughter in the office, and we're glad you had such a great time climbing Sneffels with Kaylee. She's a truly fantastic guide. Congrats on persevering and standing on the summit! Cheers, The Mountain Trip Team

Mount Sneffels Summit
An amazing day summiting Mt Sneffels with my life long friend Darrel. Tom was our guide and he is an exceptional guy and world class, highly experienced mountain guide (Denali, Colorado, etc.). He got two old timers up the Southwest Ridge route safely and allowed us to experience the exceptional beauty and technical challenge of this approach (and a peak in our own backyard Telluride) in a safe and deliberate manner. I don’t like exposure and this route has a ton - but it was so worth it. It was also technically challenging in spots but completely manageable. We were blessed with a blue bird day so we could take our time and Tom was exceptionally patient and thoughtful allowing us to descend the sketchy Lavender Col at our own pace. Thanks Tom and Mountain Trip for an incredible experience and 60th bday memory!
Response from the operator: Oh yeah! Drew, thanks for leaving such an amazing review. It sounded like you guys had a fantastic day in the alpine, and we're glad you enjoyed your time climbing with Tom. He's an excellent guide. Congrats on summiting Sneffels via the SW Ridge. It's one of the best routes in the San Juans. Also, happy 60th birthday! Cheers, The Mountain Trip Team

One-Day Peak Ascents - Telluride & Ouray: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Telluride.
How much does One-Day Peak Ascents - Telluride & Ouray cost?
+
Prices start at $449 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Telluride usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does One-Day Peak Ascents - Telluride & Ouray take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Telluride is not rushed.
Is One-Day Peak Ascents - Telluride & Ouray worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Telluride, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule One-Day Peak Ascents - Telluride & Ouray?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is One-Day Peak Ascents - Telluride & Ouray suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book One-Day Peak Ascents - Telluride & Ouray?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Telluride can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Telluride and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does One-Day Peak Ascents - Telluride & Ouray start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Telluride within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Telluride?
+
Telluride, CO packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Telluride by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Telluride experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Telluride Via Ferrata - Private Trip, Telluride 1 Day Rafting Trip with Lunch - San Miguel River, Telluride Morning Half Day Rafting Trip - San Miguel River. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Telluride?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Telluride, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Telluride?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in One-Day Peak Ascents - Telluride & Ouray?
+
