ACTIVITIES

Hiking & Climbing

Whether heading out with a guide into the vast high-desert landscape or meandering along the resort grounds, you’ll find a Colorado hiking adventure to suit your interest and ability. While at Gateway, take a leisurely hike through desert ranch land, look for spectacular back views of the impressive Palisade, or get your heart pumping with a climb to the top for a spectacular view of the world. Expert-led Colorado hiking tours are offered as half and full-day journeys into the surrounding canyons and high desert Ponderosa Pine forests. Self-guided Colorado hiking experiences are charted on adventure maps for guests who prefer a solo trek in the wilderness and backcountry.
