“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
   -- Mark Twain
Looking for high-altitude bragging rights and million-dollar views? The Six-Day High Country Tour is for you! Crossing innumerable high passes, alpine valleys and old mining towns, we'll enjoy clean air, clear blue skies and snow-capped peaks! From the breathtaking, high-altitude Trail Ridge Road to the world-famous Million Dollar Highway, we add side trips on the great roads that only the locals know.

This is the ride everyone talks about: climbing from 8000’ to 12,000’ in elevation, we’ll cruise through dense forest and emerge above treeline, stopping at pullouts to enjoy the rugged mountain scenery. This is unforgettable country, with alpine meadows, lots of wildlife, and the Rocky Mountains extending as far as the eye can see.

While we’re in high-altitude mode, we’ll head over to America’s highest paved road on 14,260’ Mt. Evans. From the top of the world, we’ll share the views with Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and other brave travelers!

We also are offering special Independence Tours at reduced rates. See the NEWS page for details.

“Bob knows those old Indian trails, the roads less travelled. We rode on perfect macadam along routes that were ours alone. Fifty-mile-long valleys, deserted mountain passes, alpine forests, rolling plains and desert canyon landscapes. Sometimes I thought ’Why were these roads ever built? There’s no one on them, yet they run through the most stupendous scenery imaginable. Do Americans not like this stuff? Do they get stuck on some trinket trail on the back of a tour guide brochure? Do they not know these routes exist? How is this? Bob does.’

I can’t help saying that if you miss the tour with Bob Herman, there might be one garden in your mind that grows only GMO herbicide-resistant superweeds and you will never know why.”
