Rocky Mountain Outdoor Center – RMOC

Our Story

Who we are

Mission Statement We love to play outside and want to share that passion with others.  Our goal is to provide a premier outpost for year-round, non-motorized outdoor adventures in the Rocky Mountains.  We offer professional instruction, guided adventures, and certification courses. Staff We consider our staff to be one of our most valuable assets. This wonderful group of individuals really makes the day special with their wealth of knowledge, concern for safety, and passion for adventure. Check out guide bios to learn more about their travels, training, and experience. Employee Owned RMOC ownership is available to staff members.  This relationship offers guides the opportunity to build actual equity for their hard work.  And in return, we are blessed with committed, experienced, and motivated staff members that continue to offer incredible experiences to our guests. Stewardship At RMOC we understand the importance of protecting our natural resources. We try our best to minimize our impact on the environment and to encourage others to do the same. The following list shows the conservation programs that we participate in. Recycling– We recycle all plastic, glass, tin, aluminum, steel, cardboard, and office paper at the local center. We also recycle our old electronic devices. Bike Shuttle– Whenever possible we use bicycles to shuttle the vehicle for your trip. This helps to reduce the carbon footprint of your trip and also helps to keep us healthy and happy.  We like to say that ‘we ride up mountains so that you can paddle down rivers’ Clean-up Green-up– Each year our staff participates in this annual event hosted by GARNA (Greater Arkansas River Nature Association). We travel in boats and collect trash alongside the river. You would be amazed at what we find! We also host in-house clean-up events at our climbing sites. Leave No Trace– We practice LNT technique on all trips to ensure a better experience for travelers to come.

Highlights

Some Adventure Options

Backcountry Ski/Splitboard

We have access to a variety of zones within the massive Sawatch mountain range which allows us to cater to a wide range of abilities. Shorter pitches with gladed trees are great for first timers and intermediate shredders who just want a casual day of powder turns.  Steeper alpine bowls provide a high mountain experience for advanced riders.  Guide will determine actual route based on ability and snow/weather conditions.  The natural snow surface can create challenging conditions, even on mellow terrain.  So all participants should be confident navigating black diamond slopes at a ski area.

Guided Ice Climbing

Beginner, intermediate, and advanced tours available.  Guide will determine actual route based on ability and ice /weather conditions.  Lots of great options throughout the upper Arkansas River Valley.

Half Day SUP Lake Tour

Enjoy a relaxing morning or afternoon paddling around Trout Creek Reservoir with Mount Princeton in the background. This is a great location to learn some basics of SUP strokes and balance before we head out on a short tour.  Finish with some friendly games to challenge your skills.

Mt. Elbert Summit Hike
