What food does MTX provide on Excursions?

MTX provides snacks like energy bars and trail mix for everyone in the group.

Bring your own water bottle. We will have a water cooler in our vehicles with fresh cold water for you to refill your bottles between activities.

How should I dress for my MTX Excursion?

For Winter Snowshoeing you’ll want to bring your own gloves, hat, snow boots, winter coat, etc. It’s always best to layer so that you can remove or add layers as you go.

What is the cancellation policy?

Full payment will be required at the time you book a Transport or Excursion. Payment is 100% refundable 24 hours prior to your pickup time.

What if the weather is not feasible to go into the mountains on the day of our scheduled excursion?

At MTX we don’t typically let weather stop us from heading out. We know the mountains well and know how to adjust for different conditions. Active weather in mountains can be a thing of beauty in and of themselves. On rare occasion mountain weather conditions may be ominous enough that we’ll call off the day trip or be forced to end early. If this happens we’re understanding and will work out a fair refund for your group based on what we were, or weren’t, able to accomplish.

Is there a minimum/maximum age limit for Transports or Excursions?

For Airport/Resort transports we’re happy to take anyone of any age. We will need to know in advance if you have children who require special seating, or inviduals with physical handicaps that need special assistance or equipment.

On a seasonal excursion, very young kids may tire or get worn down before the trip is over. We recommend you bring children with a level of maturity who you anticipate can effectively maneuver in the outdoors. Also, make sure MTX is informed beforehand of any age related concerns or challenges.

Do the MTX guides go on the hikes with us?

This depends on your preference and comfort level. We outfit you with safety and first-aid equipment, orient you with maps, and send you with walkie talkies. Most groups are capable to navigate themselves once they’ve been briefed and shown the trail. The guides typically hang back and plan out the next activity, but they love to hike and will join if you prefer.

Will there be other groups along for the ride with us?

MTX Transports can be either private, or shared, depending on pricing and preference when booking. MTX Excursions are always completely private for your group. The cost you see when you make your reservation is the cost for one or more up to the allotted group size.

What type of person is this best suited for?

MTX Excursions are perfect for family groups, friend groups, co-worker groups, and anyone who wants get a taste of mountain activities and experiences. Our vision is to help the commoner get the most out of their time in the mountains. This is not a high adventure adrenaline pumping extreme day. It’s a broad view, at a comfortable pace, with insightful guidance and fun activities.

Are there bathrooms available on the Excursions?

Yes, there are typically restrooms within a reasonable distance from where we venture for our excursions. However, because of possible seasonal conditions, such as heavy snow fall or road closures we can’t guarantee that a bathroom will be easily accessible. We recommend you go right before we pick you up, plus we bring a few outdoor bathroom items and sanitary kits in cases of emergencies.
