Peak Mountain Guides

Peak Mountain Guides operates guided rock climbing, backcountry skiing, alpine mountaineering, and ice climbing trips across Colorado, Utah, Alaska, and beyond. Based in Telluride, the company offers rock climbing at sites including Eldorado Canyon, Boulder Flatirons, Ouray, and Telluride Via Ferrata, plus backcountry skiing in the San Juans and Alaska Range. Alpine objectives span the San Juans, Wilson Peak, El Diente, and Alaska's Ruth Gorge. Ice climbing focuses on Ouray Ice Park and backcountry terrain. Peak emphasizes skill progression through private guiding and courses—including ski mountaineering, avalanche education, and intro-to-ice instruction—rather than transactional trips. Guides work within AMGA scope of practice and hold permits across multiple national forests, state parks, and national parks including Mt. Rainier and Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
