Mountain Man Travels: How It Started

Posted on December 2nd, 2025

Mountain Man Travels was founded on a straightforward principle: adventure travel should be thrilling, not overwhelming. In 2021, the agency initially focused primarily on solo travel and cruises, catering to those seeking unique water-based experiences. As I gained more knowledge and insight into the travel industry, I recognized the growing demand for active and adventure travel. This shift allowed me to expand the agency's offerings to include personalized itineraries for Iceland, Caribbean cruises, and Alaska exploration. Throughout this journey, safety, service, and authentic experiences have remained at the core of what we do. Positive word of mouth, strong reviews, and community features have further established Mountain Man Travels as a trusted resource for travelers seeking unforgettable adventures.
Mountain Man Travels Today

Mountain Man Travels is a specialized adventure travel agency offering customized itineraries for solo travelers, couples, families, and small groups seeking active, immersive journeys around the world. In 2025 alone, clients booked some of the most exciting adventures yet, including epic trips to New Zealand, Thailand, Germany, and Ireland. These journeys were designed to focus on hiking, culture, food, history, and fostering a genuine connection with each destination.

Currently, custom trips are the most popular experiences I am booking. They feature personalized itineraries tailored to each client's specific desires. Some trips focus on food, while others emphasize history or cultural experiences. Mountain Man Travels combines extensive destination knowledge with a safety-first approach, drawing on professional emergency services experience and industry certifications to ensure seamless planning for active and adventure travelers.
A Milestone Year: 2025 Highlights

This year marked a significant step forward for Mountain Man Travels in both scale and depth of service. The growth in 2025 enabled the company to join the Greater Arvada Chamber of Commerce, strengthening local roots and opening the door to serving more travelers in the Arvada and Denver areas while still working with clients across the United States and personally, exploring Ireland on a honeymoon provided firsthand insight into castles, coastal drives, local pubs, and off-the-beaten-path adventures—experience that now directly informs how Irish itineraries are crafted for clients. Throughout the year, ongoing conferences, trainings, and seminars helped expand travel knowledge, industry connections, and business practices, ensuring Mountain Man Travels stays current on destinations, suppliers, and adventure travel trends.
The Future of Mountain Man Travels

Looking ahead, Mountain Man Travels is expanding its focus on multi-destination active travel packages, eco-conscious adventure itineraries, and escorted immersive trips with top tour operators and trusted partners. Building on the success of 2025 trips to New Zealand, Thailand, Germany, and Ireland, future itineraries will continue to spotlight authentic experiences that help shape every traveler's worldview. As the agency grows, it will keep investing in education, technology, and partnerships to deliver cutting-edge, personalized adventure travel planning that meets travelers where they are—whether they're first-time explorers or seasoned adventurers seeking their next big journey.
