The Colorado mountains offer endless ways to bring adventure to your life! Adventures in Colorado and adventures in Summit County include whitewater rafting, mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, hot springs, horseback riding, ATVing, hot air ballooning, ski lift rides, and much more! Boredom is not a problem in the Colorado mountains; instead, it’s deciding which of the incredible adventures in Colorado to take part in!
We have an outpost for many of our adventures in Granite, Colorado (between Buena Vista and Leadville). We also have outpost sin Idaho Springs and Kremmling as well as pick-ups in Keystone and Breckenridge for select rafting trips. We can also design a custom Colorado mountain adventure for any group. You pick the length of time and the details, such as meals and door-to-door transportation. We can provide you with a simple BBQ with hot dogs and hamburgers or a gourmet meal with fine wine. Activites like whitewater rafting and rock climbing are also excellent activities for teambuilding. We cater to the specific needs of your group to make an adventure in Colorado happen for you!
AVA acknowledges safety as our number one priority on your Colorado adventures. We provide only the best quality gear. We also require helmets on any rafting adventure Class III or higher, which is above and beyond the state standards. Our guides are extremely well trained, and many have years of experience leading adventures in Colorado.
Thanks for your interest in AVA. We look forward to helping you create the adventure of a lifetime in Colorado!
