Get ready for an epic adventure in the heart of Colorado's San Juan Mountains! This 4-night trip with Buffalo Overland is the perfect mix of jaw-dropping scenery, off-road thrills, and team-building fun. We'll be set up at Telluride Base Camp, perched at a breathtaking 9,700 feet. Trust me, the views up here are something else – you'll be surrounded by some of the most stunning mountain landscapes in the Rockies.
This isn't your average corporate retreat or 4x4 trip. We've cooked up a unique blend of outdoor adventure and team-building that'll have you and your crew working together like a well-oiled machine. By day, we'll be tackling some of Telluride's best off-road trails, with difficulty levels ranging from easy-going Level 1 routes to more challenging Level 4 tracks. Don't sweat it if you're new to off-roading – our expert guides will be there every step of the way to keep things safe and fun. When we're not behind the wheel, we'll hit some of the area's most scenic hiking trails. It's the perfect way to stretch your legs and soak in those incredible mountain views.
Alright, let's talk shop about the off-roading. We've got trails to suit every skill level, from Level 1 to Level 4. If you're bringing your own rig, we'll need to know the specs to make sure it can handle the terrain. Don't have a 4x4? No worries – we've got rentals available. Just give us a heads up when you book. Our guides know these trails like the back of their hand, so you'll be in good hands whether you're a total newbie or an off-road pro. We'll cover everything from basic 4x4 techniques to more advanced rock-crawling skills, depending on the routes we tackle.
This trip isn't just about the driving – we've got some seriously cool team-building activities lined up. These aren't your run-of-the-mill trust falls, folks. We're talking challenges that'll really get you working together and thinking outside the box. And get this – we've even got live video backdrops featuring the iconic Coors Mountain for our group sessions. It's a pretty sweet setup that'll make you feel like you're right in the middle of a beer commercial (minus the cheesy acting). When it's time to kick back, you can choose between roughing it at our camp or living it up a bit more in the lodge. Either way, you're in for some seriously comfy digs after a day of adventure.
Don't even think about packing a cooler – we've got all your meals covered. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included, and let me tell you, our camp chef knows how to whip up some seriously tasty grub. We're talking hearty mountain breakfasts to fuel your morning, pack lunches for the trail that are way beyond your standard PB&J, and dinners that'll have you going back for seconds (or thirds – we don't judge). Plus, there's nothing quite like swapping stories around the campfire with a hot meal in your hands and the stars coming out overhead.
You know what sets this trip apart? It's that perfect mix of adrenaline and relaxation. One minute you're conquering a gnarly section of trail, the next you're kicking back at camp with a cold one, watching the sunset paint the mountains. Our guests rave about how the team-building exercises actually made a difference back at the office. And let's be real – that backdrop of the San Juans is pretty hard to beat. Whether you're here to push your off-road skills, bond with your team, or just soak in some of Colorado's best scenery, this trip delivers.
We're running this bad boy from September 10th to 15th, and let me tell you, it's a prime time to be in Telluride. The summer crowds have thinned out, the weather's usually perfect for off-roading (not too hot, not too cold), and if we're lucky, we might catch the first hints of fall color in the aspens. It's a sweet spot in the season that gives you the best of everything – comfortable temps for outdoor activities, clear skies for those million-dollar views, and maybe even a touch of that golden autumn glow.
Alright, let's talk gear. If you're bringing your own 4x4, make sure it's in top shape – we'll send you a checklist of what to look over before the trip. For the hikers out there, sturdy boots are a must – the terrain can be rocky and uneven. Pack layers, because mountain weather can change on a dime. We'll provide all the specialized equipment for our team-building activities, but feel free to bring along your favorite outdoor gear. Don't forget a good camera – the photo ops on this trip are off the charts.
Here's a little insider tip: Telluride's got some world-class restaurants, so if you want to extend your stay, it's worth checking out the food scene. And while we'll be hitting some amazing trails, there's plenty more to explore if you've got extra time. The Via Ferrata is a must-do for adrenaline junkies, and the free gondola ride offers some of the best views in town without breaking a sweat. Oh, and keep your eyes peeled for wildlife – we often spot elk, mule deer, and if we're really lucky, maybe even a black bear or two (from a safe distance, of course).
Alright, folks, here's the deal – this trip's gonna fill up fast. With only one spot left, you'll want to jump on this quicker than a mountain goat on a cliff face. Remember, that deposit's non-refundable, so make sure you're all in before you book. But trust me, once you're up here, breathing in that crisp mountain air and tackling those trails, you'll be glad you pulled the trigger. So what are you waiting for? Grab that last spot and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime in Telluride. Your office stories are about to get a whole lot cooler!
