Join us for a classic Colorado mountain adventure with a group of active, like minded travelers. We will explore the beautiful Collegiate Peaks, San Luis Valley, Great Sand Dunes National Park and the laid back mountain towns of Buena Vista and Salida Colorado. Our days will be filled with hiking, rafting, walking and soaking in natural hot springs, surrounded by spectacular natural beauty.
NextTribe members receive a $100 discount on the trip. Find out more here.
Off the beaten path, Buena Vista is a beautiful 3 hour drive from Denver. It is a picturesque town nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, known for its stunning natural surroundings, outdoor recreational opportunities, and laid back vibe.
Buena Vista is surrounded by the Collegiate Peaks, a series of towering mountain peaks, including some of the highest in the state, such as Mount Harvard and Mount Princeton. The Arkansas River flows through the valley, adding to the town's scenic appeal. The town's historic downtown is filled with charming Victorian architecture, shops, art galleries, and locally owned restaurants.
NextTribe offers a safe travel environment that through the energy and alchemy of adventurous women turns into a real community in a short amount of time.
On every trip, you will be led by a friendly and fun woman of our own age, who has deep local knowledge and/or roots. She has proved to us that she is responsible, flexible, and truly cares about every traveler, nurturing new friendships and making sure no one feels left out. Other tour companies drop in a local guide who remains apart from the group. Our leader is the glue among the travelers--the person who ensures that this is more than a trip; it's a community of curious, like-minded women on the move.
We are known for group travel for women over 45 who don't normally like group travel. We keep our groups small and know that our guests are curious explorers who can take care of themselves. We allow them space to make the trip their own. You will not be in lockstep on a tight schedule behind a guide. You can roam on your own if you want (with a good GPS and an understanding of how to meet up with the group later) or you can take full advantage of the guide's knowledge of the city.
We do expect our travelers to have a level of self-sufficiency, being able to carry their own bags if need be, and to be respectful of others in the group and open to new experiences and friendships.

When you purchase it within 21 days of booking (and before your final payment) you can get better coverage.
Several people have had to cancel trips because of a death in the family, an injury (one women broke her foot on the way out the door to the airport!) or COVID, and once we enter the non-refundable stage of your booking, we CANNOT refund your trip for any reason.
