Colorado Front Range Pilot (Level 1)
Colorado Front Range
5 days of mountain adventure, 8 weeks of preparation
This isn't a vacation. It's a proving ground. Train with us for 8–12 weeks online, then fly to Colorado and put it all to work — summiting peaks above Golden, flying through the treetops on a cliffside zipline, learning to navigate with map and compass, and soaking in century-old hot springs as the aspens turn gold around you.
Based at The Eddy Taproom & Hotel in Golden, Colorado — a boutique adventure lodge at the base of the Rockies — every trail, every activity, and every meal is planned, guided, and within 30 minutes of your door.
