Description

Join the ACA Mountaineering Team and our new 2023 adventure partners, Mountain Trip of Telluride, Colorado. For a breathtakingly unique adventure, look no further than the Telluride Via Ferrata. A once in a lifetime must do adventure! The route precariously traverses rock faces up to 600 feet above the forest floor below, and offers exhilarating exposure in sections that would be impassable without the fixed steel cables and holds along the way. The Telluride Via Ferrata provides unmatched views of Bridal Veil Falls (the highest free falling waterfall in Colorado), the town of Telluride in the distance, and the surrounding peaks of the San Juan Mountains.

Good traction is important for all of the above.Day hikes and the Via Ferrata require a small backpack or Camelback style hydration pack. It need only be large enough for a camera, water and light additional clothing layers for the day.A rain shell can be your most important layer as we often experience afternoon showers during the summer months in Colorado. It should be packable and in good working order meaning that, in addition to being waterproof, it still has a functional water repellent finish and beads water on the surface of the fabric.A thin pair of gloves will help keep your hands warm as the steel rungs and cables can be cold in the morning. Good dexterity is important for these gloves. We are happy to provide you with gloves if you do not have any with you.Please bring CASH to tip your guides, and your photographer, Marsel.
