Welcome to the Active Travel Adventures podcast where you'll find inspiration to lead a bigger life through adventure travel.

On each show we explore exciting multi-day active vacations from around the world where you have to MOVE!  You'll have to hike, bike, paddle, horseback ride (sometimes in combination) to propel yourself to the next destination.

If you're tired of typical vacations and are looking for a more authentic experience by exploring the landscapes and meeting the locals on your vacation, then this is your podcast!

All adventures will be doable for someone reasonably fit (I'm a 58 year old woman and I have to be able to do them).

Be sure to visit activetraveladventures.com to see photos and get more details, plus you can download the FREE Travel Planners for each destination!  These handy summaries summarize the tips and provide all sorts of helpful links to help you plan your trip.  You get them automatically if you subscribe to the newsletter.

Backpack the Mummy Range in the Colorado Rockies

Oct 31, 2019

Experience remote ruggedness, Alpine Lakes, and impressive forests in this seldom visited range in Rocky Mountain National Park, the Mummy Range. Get away from the crowds and experience pristine wilderness where you might not see anyone but your hiking mates for days! This challenging section of the Rockies showcases beautiful alpine lakes, meadows, lodgepole pine forests, and epic views. We climb to about 11,400 feet and hike both on and off trail. If you want to do the same, be sure to hire a guide unless you are an experienced backcountry hiker! The journey begins in Estes Park, followed by a hike in the broad river valley before climbing ever higher elevations across the Tundra fields of the high Mummy Range. You'll see snowcapped mountains and, on a clear night, the Milky Way! It's not uncommon to see a large herd of elk and sometimes moose. If you've been yearning to witness true wilderness, consider trekking the Mummy Range!
