Breathtaking scenery and memorable conversation with your personal PhD in natural philosophy and science. Offerings:
We offer 5-6 night lodging (depending upon need);
4 days of hiking, trails depending on choice and ability of our guests. Breakfast at lodge and dinner at one of the local Leadville restaurants (no alcohol included in price). If needed, pickup from Denver airport; we will only make
2 such trips (one arrival and one departure), so guests will have to coordinate arrival and departure from Denver airport (see below in requirements). Requirements:
Lodge has two bedrooms with one queen bed per bedroom, and one bath. Usual amenities of modern living available. Laundry also available. We need a full occupancy/4 individuals for the tour, or payment equivalent to that of 4 individuals. Due to single bathroom and individual bedrooms with one queen bed in each bedroom, while everything else is common within lodge, we believe such tour is best suited for individuals who know each other, thus who have common interests and hiking abilities. Daily activities depend on the choice and desire or our guests, so schedule remains open. We suggest detailed communication between guests and myself previous to any scheduling and financial commitments; this allows me to answer any of the questions you might have, including details not covered here, and for you to also get to know me at a more personal level. Cost/person: $ 1800. We only offer up to 3 tours every calendar year; the snow melts in late June, and the 1st snow is usually in October, so best times for great hiking are during July and August; September is also a possible time, but instead of July's wild flowers, one can start to see the auburns of Autumn.
