Every trip Begins at dusk

What makes Focus Backcountry unique is the very first steps we take on the trail. Every trip begins at dusk. The idea of leaving the trailhead as the sun is beginning to set creates a strong pact between everyone on the trip. It builds confidence in each person, as well as the group as a whole. The first night of hiking truly helps you conquer your fears, and gives us all a connection and accomplishment far beyond backpacking.

More about the trips

Let’s Embark on an adventure

In order to develop a baseline of mutual trust and understanding, we begin in-person preparation before we hit the trails. We’ll cover what to pack, how to pack, and how to build a tent one-on-one with our guide, Jenn. This will lay the ground work to give you the utmost confidence and comfortable before you leave.

A few words from fellow adventurers

My reward came the next morning; I stepped out of my tent and I was surrounded by majestic mountains! Our camp was near a beautiful rushing mountain stream. The scenery on every trail was stunning, making me stop and take pictures throughout each day.
Lanny A.S.Colony Lakes
One of the coolest things I’ve ever done. I feel like a total badass now! I was super intimidated going into the trip, but turns out I had nothing to worry about - especially when exploring with Jenn. She’s an absolute rockstar and just an all around awesome human being. Thank you for pulling me out of my comfort zone and helping me find my strength to accomplish something I never thought I could! This was a incredible trip - from the camaraderie of our group to the views and thrill of being in the wildness and the middle of no where and simply just TIME spent with great people.
Molly N.S. Colony Lakes
"Before this trip I was intimated at the thought of hiking in to a remote location with everything I need for a weekend. Between the pack list and pack check beforehand and all the helpful information, tips, and tricks that Jenn provided along the way, the trip was beyond fun and now I'm excited to get back out and take a trip of my own. I met some awesome new people, learned so many new things, and got to enjoy the wonderful backcountry and beautiful mountains that Colorado has to offer without the crowds. If I could go on every future FocusBackcountry trip I would!"
MKWillow Lake
"It was an incredible journey into the unknown, pushing my limits in the best of ways to experience a truly unique place in the great outdoors. Jenn is an experienced guide and helped make us feel comfortable and prepared before hitting the trail. It was an invaluable experience and I can't wait to go again!"
Hannah G. Willow Lake
"I was excited, yet so nervous for my first backpacking trip. I’d recently moved to colorado and just started to get into hiking and had never been camping, so this was a big step. Jenn at Focus Backcountry was the best guide I could’ve hoped for. She helped ease some nerves in the pack check, provided additional motivation throughout the trip, and her knowledge shared through teachable moments makes me feel more comfortable in going on another trip or going camping solo. Hands down the best guide and organization for your first (or next) backpacking excursion."
Kelley H. Music Pass
"This trip helped me see what kind of adventure woman I was born to be! I absolutely loved the groups of strong, brave women I hiked along side and can’t wait to explore more Colorado backcountry."
Kelsey K.Willow Lake
"Hike in and out was BEAUTIFUL. Challenging hike but not too difficult. Great company, Jen you're an amazing guide."
Juelz R.Music Pass
I haven't done anything bonding like that with strangers in a long time, and it's cool to see that it's still so fun to do! I was also surprised that I was able to accomplish this with no major pain along the way.
Allison M.S. Colony Lakes
"I would, hands down, go on another trip with FBC! It was so motivating, challenging, and beyond fun! The views were UHMAYZING! I learned so much about backpacking and hiking in the cold and dark! Jenn is so knowledgeable and passionate — and not to mention, a fearless leader, which all definitely rubbed off on our tribe in the best ways! 100 out of 10!"
Stacey B.Willow Lake
"Fun adventure! Lots of new learnings. Great connection with the other hikers."
Richelle L. Music Pass
"Challenging, but with the proper preparation and physical training, wholly rewarding. It's such an amazing thing to wake up to view your accomplishments, more so when you find yourself in the middle of a mountain range. It's worth that final push, and the one after that."
