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 and Colorado 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.
Before heading to Philmont, you can add an unforgettable Colorado experience to your group’s private transportation. If your troop arrives in Denver or Colorado Springs ahead of pickup day, choose from several thrilling, scout-friendly adventures to turn your travel day into a highlight of the trip.
These activities pair seamlessly with your shuttle to Philmont. We’ll coordinate timing, logistics, and transportation so your group can adventure first and head straight into New Mexico afterward.
If your crew is flying into Denver the night before, enjoy a smooth and comfortable start by staying at the Gaylord Rockies Resort, located just minutes from Denver International Airport. With easy access for early-morning pickups, on-site dining options, spacious rooms, and a fun indoor/outdoor pool area, it’s the perfect base to rest, regroup, and get your Scouts ready for the journey ahead. We can pick your group up directly from the resort before beginning your adventure or heading toward Philmont.
Kick off your Philmont experience with a half-day or full-day whitewater rafting trip. From beginner-friendly scenic floats to thrilling Class III rapids, rafting builds teamwork and sets the tone for an exciting trek.
Experience Colorado’s mountain scenery from above on a high-speed zipline adventure. This adrenaline-filled yet accessible activity is a great option for Scouts of varying ages and abilities.
For a thrilling and confidence-building challenge, try Colorado’s Via Ferrata. This guided cliffside route combines ladders, cables, and panoramic mountain views, a unique adventure your Scouts won’t forget.

“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.”
