“Life is incredibly busy for us. We hired Outdoor Mavens to get the logistics of our trip dialed in. They did an amazing job hearing our vision and creating a trip out west that my family is still talking about.”

What is an adventure consultant?

The words Adventure Consultant might cause you to picture a trip up Mount Everest in the 90’s. This seems outdated in our opinion. Think of us as a travel agent, expert googler, boots-on-the-ground specialist. We know the areas, we know how to live outside, and we know how to have a good time. As Adventure Consultants we will give you an easy-to-use itinerary that allows for you to enjoy your trip, your family, and the landscape.

 

Trip Plans Include:

  • Logistics

  • Tips on how to stay safe in the outdoors

  • Weather links

  • How to treat the land with respect

  • Trail terrain & matching guest experience

  • Camping and lodging recommendations

  • Locals-only food stops

  • Off the beaten track hiking options

Protect the spaces we interact with and leave them better.

Protect our public lands.

Now more than ever. It is our collective duty to recreate responsibly, when we choose to go into nature. As a company we seek to plan your trip with proper conservation literature so you feel empowered with a baseline understanding of what it takes to Leave No Trace. We want to be a company that engages in larger conservation forums and advocates to protect public lands of the western United States.
