Adventure awaits at Philmont — but getting there should be part of the experience, not a logistical challenge. Peak 1 Express is your reliable trail guide for the road, offering both shared shuttles and private vans from Denver International Airport to base camp. Travel with your crew, your gear, and your spirit of adventure — all in one ride.
Rather than coordinating three personal vehicles and finding parent drivers, why not streamline the journey? Let us handle the logistics so your group stays together — safe, comfortable, and on schedule.
Choose from a rental van through our sister company, MileMarker Van Rentals or a Peak 1 Express private charter with one of our highly trained drivers. Either way, you’ll be able to fit your entire scout troop, leaving plenty of room for luggage, scouting equipment, and souvenirs.
AVA Rafting and Zipline has several outposts across Colorado, where groups meet and are transported to their adventure destination. These scenic outposts are home to campsites and cabins, restrooms, grills and picnic tables. This lodging provides you and your Scouts with a comfy place to relax after an adventurous trip.
Trips can run for 1/3 day, ½ day, full-day, overnight, or multiple days. View AVA’s trips to discover package options and availability. During the wintertime, you can find great deals on pre-booking choices that can make perfect Christmas gifts when purchasing the gift card option.
More adventures
With AVA’s adventure packages, you can even combine activities into one awesome adventure, like whitewater rafting with ziplining or rafting with a Via Ferrata course. AVA’s adventure specialists are also ready to help tailor a custom package or adventure to your group’s needs and interests.
In addition to the adventures covered above, you can also try out horseback riding trips from Mt. Princeton Stables, rent a mountain bike in Breckenridge, fly-fish, or ride the Georgetown Loop train ride, an authentic steam engine located in a former silver mining town.
“When my family comes to town, this is how we keep everyone together and save a few bucks without having to book 3 cars for all of us. Super convenient pick-up and drop-off to DEN too. Highly recommend.”
