MountainTrip Telluride Kroger Via Ferrata - 64 and counting, one of the most exhilarating experiences in my life; soooo high up, soooo secure. To trek along whilst being attached to the world-class Telluride Kroger Via Ferrata on the sheer cliff faces of Telluride's iconic box canyon is the experience of a lifetime. Cliffs, old growth forest, Colorado's tallest Bridal Veil Falls, 13,000 plus foot peaks, extraordinary geology, beautiful town of Telluride in the distance. MountainTrip is a friendly, professional organization with a deep passion for all things Outdoor Adventure. Our guide Ashley was Superb!!!!! Perfect balance of informative guide and expert leader.

Must do in Telluride - This was a fantastic trip! We had to reschedule due to the rain but the company was easy and flexible on that. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the trail and was super helpful on navigating through, especially in the more technical sections. Not to mention the views were incredible of the entire Telluride area. He also took great pictures of us as well which is a nice added bonus. Overall, we had an amazing time and would do it again.

Amazing Experience and beautiful. - Chad Peele, my guide was amazing. Everything was explained before we did it and we took everything in stages. It was challenging at times but Chad's calm manor and style put me at ease. The hike itself is beautiful and you are save. On the show wall - it is intense but a great sense of acheivement when you finish. An amazing experience.

What a Thrill - Tom was an excellent guide. He provided the perfect blend of thrill and safety. The route is insanely exposed and also quite safe, as long as you pay attention and listen to your guide.

Challenging and Scary but Amazing! - So lucky to get the best possible guide, Tom ... not sure how I would have done it without him ... 1st ferrata and it was as much a psychological challenge as anything with heights and exposure. Tom is extremely experienced (probably overqualified) and most of all has a stellar demeanor ... calm, instructive, encouraging and reassuring. Whatever he's paid, it can't be enough. Thank you Mountain Trip and Tom for making my first ferrata experience a success.
