Professional Guiding

“Apryle’s experience and patience was key to my success in summiting Longs Peak.” -Barbara, AZ

Looking for a fun mountain outing? Or perhaps a grueling alpine adventure above treeline is more your style? Phil and Apryle offer professional hiking guiding in Rocky Mountain National Park through Kirk’s Flyshop and Mountain Adventures that suits your budget, time-frame, experience level, and goals.

In the summer, request Phil or Apryle to join you as you attempt to climb Longs Peak, the highest peak in Rocky Mountain National Park, or on Mummy Mania, a 17 mile hike that summits seven peaks in the Mummy Range. Don’t have the time or interest in an all-day effort? For a more casual outing, we can hike to beautiful alpine lakes Loch Vale or Emerald Lake and discuss the native flora and fauna of Rocky Mountain National Park.

In the winter, call Kirk’s to set up your guided snowshoe hike in Rocky Mountain National Park with Phil or Apryle. Never worn snowshoes? No problem! We’re happy to help you get suited up for a comfortable, fun snow-filled adventure on and off-trail through knee-deep Colorado powder! 3, 6, and 8-hour trips are available to suit your skill level.
