Be transformed.
Explore the Rocky Mountains at Sky Ranch Ute Trail this summer. Wilderness is a powerful tool for building community, developing character, and discovering inner resolve. Wilderness is also a place where walls are torn down, relationships are restored, and lives are changed.
God calls us into the wilderness to transform us.
Without the distractions of civilization, we find space to encounter Christ and see Him revealed in creation. Wilderness provides opportunities of physical challenge and stepping outside of our normal comfort zones.
Groups of all kinds: students, adults, Scouts, schools, and families. No matter your experience in backpacking, our guides will take care of your needs on the trail. Sky Ranch provides the guides, grub, and gear for your group. Wilderness trips can include backpacking, rock climbing, kayaking, and backcountry living.
Backpack through the Rocky Mountains in southwest Colorado on a 7-day trip, exploring the wonders of the Rockies from cascading creeks to towering peaks.
Base Camp offers a variety of experiences: rock climbing at Hartman Rocks, whitewater rafting down the Taylor River, kayaking on Lake San Cristobal, and an overnight hike in the Gunnison National Forest.
Adventure is Ideal for Boy Scout / Girl Scout groups. Explore the wonders of the Rockies and develop outdoor skills along with facilitated group interaction and Bible study.
