Testimonials
 

"This was one of the most memorable highlights from the trip. Our first full day in Colorado. Carly really gave us a warm welcome- the type of person you feel like you’ve known all your life- a breath of fresh air. She took us somewhere we wouldn’t have found ourselves and paced our hike to our needs. She knows history, nature facts and Colorado recommendations and got to know us/ find out what we were up to on our trip and help set us up for what to expect on the rest of our Colorado trip. It was such a pleasant experience and the hike and sites were top-notch. Would use Rocky Mountain Hiking Company again if I find myself in the area. When we went to Rocky Mountain National Park we wished we had thought ahead to try to book a hike with her there. It really does pay to have someone on your hike with you that knows the hike and all the little details along the way when you’re not avid hikers but enjoy hiking. I have never used a service like this before but will do a search when I visit similar future destinations." - Annie P., Chicago, IL

"Carly was wonderful! She and her guide-in-training took us to hike Mount Falcon. We were in town for the Avett Brothers Concert at Red Rocks. We got great views of Red Rocks from afar and Dinosaur Ridge plus the cutest chipmunks you ever could see. We haven’t hiked in a bit so this 4.6 miles with perfect for us… lots of history and beautiful views. I highly recommend Carly and her team!" - Greta K., Tuckahoe, VA

"This was my first backpacking trip! Hiking with Carly was truly incredible. She was supportive and encouraging, which enabled the trip to feel both like being home and a genuine adventure." - Shaina U., Los Angeles, CA

"Carly helped me plan my 2019 PCT thru-hike. I could not have done it without her. Logistical resources, practical advice, emotional guidance, gear planning. Everything I needed to be successful. An unbelievable value for the money."  Bob D., Tampa, FL

"Carly is a force of nature both on and off-trail. She's one of the most accomplished, but also one of the friendliest, most humble hikers I know. She's always happy to share her knowledge and expertise with others." Susanna B., Sacramento, CA

"Carly’s expert advice and recommendations regarding my equipment selection helped me keep my backpack lightweight. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and an absolute delight. I love that Carly had real experience on the John Muir Trail where I’ll be hiking using some of the equipment we discussed. She is organized and concise and she sent me great details about the equipment she suggested I consider. Carly is passionate about sharing her experience and knowledge." - Vicky S., Asheville, NC

"After sustaining a back injury 1,400 miles into my Appalachian Trail thru-hike, it seemed like there was no way to finish and everything was lost. So I reached out to Carly for coaching. She guided me all the way through Maine and New Hampshire to the finish line!" - Mr. Clean, New York, NY
