Paragon Guides began in 1978 as a small guiding company and has since grown to one of the most respected guide services in the Vail Valley. The company holds the broadest US Forest Service permit in the area and has over 45 years of experience taking people into the Colorado backcountry.
With Paragon Guides, you are not a client, but a trip participant. The company specializes in custom itineraries, tailoring each trip to a person’s experience level, group size and mountain comfort, whether that is a llama hike, a full day hike, mountaineering and peak ascents, backcountry skiing and boarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or a winter hut trip.
Guides come from a variety of backgrounds, including Outward Bound and NOLS instructors, National Park Rangers and local mountaineers, all sharing an appreciation for and a broad depth of experience in the outdoors. Every adventure is planned through the lens of sustainability and limiting impact on the wilderness the company explores.
