Credibility and Integrity

| Jeanne & Chris Szczech |
Over fifteen years of marriage have taught Chris and Jeanne Szczech the value of working together and the importance of clear communication. Both of them have been exploring in the wilderness since they’ve been able to walk! Whether as an Eagle Scout, USMC Infantry Officer, or while climbing mountains or backpacking with Jeanne, Chris believes in keeping his skills honed. Jeanne’s love of the outdoors was instilled in her at an early age by her parents and six siblings. Stewardship and attention to detail are her focus. When they’re not hiking the Colorado Trail, they can be found with their two daughters in the mountains or the rivers of the Southwest.
Chris and Jeanne are also hired by The Colorado Trail Foundation to be the managers of The Colorado Trail Foundation Trekking Program. They will ensure that your Colorado hiking vacation is highly enjoyable and safe.

We have many written testimonials from past customers
who have been very happy with their Colorado hiking
vacation. If you would like us to send you a copy of
these testimonials we would be happy to do so. Our headquarters
is located in Durango, Co., which is a small town of
18,000 people. Word of mouth is our best advertising.
If we were doing a bad job, we would get run out of
town.

| Chris Szczech guiding on the Colorado Trail in 2007 |
You must experience the Colorado hiking vacation in
person to understand how gorgeous the scenery really
is. Photos really cannot depict the grandeur!! The Colorado Trail, a wilderness path designed to traverse some of
the most scenic areas of the Rockies and the Continental
Divide, is a unique experience for both the body and
the soul. This will be one backpacking vacation you
won't want to miss.
Small Groups - We Will Remember Your Name
Our business name, Colorado Mountain Expeditions, may
indicate that we are a big conglomerate or tour group,
but this could not be further from the truth. We are
a small guide service operated by a husband and wife
team. Our hiking group size is from 12 to 14 people
per week. We only offer six to eight weeks of Colorado
hiking per year, which translates to only taking about
96 hiking clients per year. Now, that is small and exclusive!.
Our goal is to offer a trip that will produce many great
memories for years to come.
Humor
We like to have fun. If you have a sense of humor, you will like us. If you are a sour puss, you will probably be converted by the time you leave.
Join us for your next backpacking vacation!
