Rocky Mountains
Three thousand miles of range. Fourteeners, Wind Rivers, and Sawtooths.
What the Rockies Offer
The Rockies stretch from New Mexico to northern BC. The Colorado Fourteeners, Wyoming Wind Rivers, and Idaho Sawtooths represent three very different — and equally compelling — mountain experiences.
Key Areas
Each major Rockies region has its own character, permit system, and optimal season.

Hazards Worth Knowing
The Rockies present consistent hazards that Pacific Northwest terrain doesn't prepare you for.
- Afternoon lightning is predictable and dangerous on exposed ridgelines — plan around it
- Altitude affects performance from 10,000ft; acclimatise over 2–3 days before technical objectives
- Bear canisters required in many wilderness areas — check before your trip
