"If you are planning a trip to Boulder Colorado, a day in the mountains with Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides [formerly Boulder Wilderness Shuttle] is sure to make it an absolutely wonderful experience. Through his many years of guiding, Joshua possesses a wealth of knowledge about the outdoors, which he enjoys sharing and teaching to others. He puts a maximum emphasis on safety as well as happiness of his clients. His staff was professional and arrived on time to pick us up as scheduled. The shuttle van was clean, comfortable, and we had maps and books with trail descriptions at our disposal. We would highly recommend Boulder Wilderness Shuttle to anyone interested in spending a memorable day in the mountains exploring the Colorado Rockies!"

"What a great Colorado vacation and trip. Justin went above and beyond with providing great instruction in fly fishing. He was very patient and extremely knowledgeable about fishing techniques and Colorado fishing. This was a great vacation and a much needed rest from the noise and action of New York City. I will tell all our friends about how great fishing guides you are."
