So you are planning to go on a hike this weekend? Whether you're planning a short day hike or an overnight backpacking trip - you should know that follow some basic safety rules.


What can you do in order to be sure you’ll be coming back home healthy and in one piece?

• Prepare well. Know the hike and take all relevant maps. GPS is great, but even a simple compass can be very important.
• Take a cell phone but a satellite phone can be more useful in the wilderness.
• Try to travel with professional and experienced hikers.
• Be sure you are in proper shape and choose a hike you can handle. Practice. Start to carry a heavy backpack when you engage your daily activities.
• Check weather forecast and make sure that climate conditions allow safe hiking.
• Leave early in the morning so you can avoid traveling during the night.
• Find a recommended gear list online and bring enough food and water. It’s always recommended to take more water than you think you need.
• Always carry emergency equipment: first-aid kit, whistle, matches and a flash light.
• But still, carry only the most important essentials. A heavy backpack can make your trip more strenuous and less enjoyable.

Limitless Adventures believes that safety of the group is our #1 priority. And this is just the beginning. Next week we'll discuses the necessary precautions during your hiking adventure. So stay tuned, stay safe and don't forget to enjoy the view!

“The Vail trip is what I look forward to every winter. The trip is planned out perfectly. The whole atmosphere screams excitement and our adventures are sensational. I would like to share with you the awesome times I have had with these guys, whether it’s skiing at Vail, skydiving in Longmont, partying on Lake Minnetonka, or jumping Berthoud Pass.

If you're looking for the best time of your life, you’ve come to the right place. You'll ski with current and former U.S. Ski Team members (!) Yeah Sweet! I have always had great times with this crew and Matt is the perfect guide who knows every nook and cranny of Vail Mountain.


They have taught me to be a much better skier and as a result I have found myself jumping off cliffs into deep powder... and surviving! I have also jumped out of a perfectly good airplane and had such a good time doing so, that I decided to get my sky diving license this spring.

If you have ever wanted to do something that you were a little scared to do, or just get yourself into an adventure - you can be sure that it’ll happen on a trip here.”

Rafting is fun, exciting, challenging and mostly a wet experience. Although it involves sitting, rafting is not your regular theme-park thrill-ride as it requires you to be active both in your body and mind.

There are several techniques you need to know before going on a rafting experience. There’s highsiding which basically means that in some dangerous cases you have to move to the high side of the raft so it will not turn over. There’s also keeping the boat in a straight line which requires team work and focus.



Rafting divides into difficulty levels – class I through VI where I is a backyard stream created by a hose and VI is practically impossible. But don’t worry, rafting isn’t that dangerous. There are more accidents in bowling than in rafting and most rafting accidents occur when getting on and off the boat.

Just pick a nice day, put on some comfy clothes, bring lots of water and think about class 5 rapids in the Royal George, located just outside of Canyon City, Colorado.

This is only a part of an action-packed Colorado Adventure Includes Skiing, Climbing, Rafting and Hiking, all with the adventure driven guides of Limitless Adventures.

Mountaineering is basically like hiking, but you have to leave grandma out of the picture. Let’s say you don’t just hike the Kilimanjaro. Mountaineering involves a more challenging hiking, and you’ll get to much higher attitudes. You also have to keep the next rules:

1. Stay Safe.*
2. Don’t go for the Himalayas. If you are a beginner, you should act as one and start practicing in your back yard – that is if it has a nice little hill. Go to a state park that’s near you and work your way to the top. Literally.
3. Know your body. Don’t go over the top. You should be aware of what you are capable. Don’t join an advanced group if you are a beginner and remember to come physically prepared, stretched and all, so you won’t pull a muscle during the hike.
4. Practice. Start to carry a heavy backpack when you engage your daily activities. Run, jog, do bike, climb indoor. And carry a backpack.
5. Be ready. Write down a list of the things you need to take. Don’t forget to carry water – lots of water.
6. Read. Learn. Know the basic essentials. Review your Scouts education - figure how to tie a useful knot and work on your survival instincts.

Get yourself some good karma, join local guides and climb. Limitless Adventures will take you to some of the most beautiful peaks, anywhere in the world, from the roof Africa on Mt. Kilimanjaro to the many 14,000 ft. peaks of Colorado.

* Limitless Adventures believes that safety of the group is our #1 priority. This means that you will be traveling with expert guides who are trained to deal with emergency situations. Whether it’s a 3-week trip to Africa or a short backpacking trip in Colorado we always take the necessary precautions to make sure our clients return home safe.

Palau, Micronesia

Palau is considered to be one of the most exciting diving sites in the world. There are over 100 dive sites along the 90 mile coral lagoon of Palau. You will find Blue holes, underwater caverns and a colorful variety of exotic marine species. Sharks, turtles, dolphins and rare fish gather at Palau at the crossroads of three of the world's major ocean currents.

California, La Jolla Cove

The entrance takes quite a few steps down, through a rocky cove and resting sun-tanners. Just beyond the entrance, you will find a large kelp forest and rocky area, beginning in 6 feet of water, and heads out to La Jolla Canyon. This is a great place to see local fish and crustaceans, and maybe even a shark or two. Down the coast is by far the best place to see huge variety of what this cold water haven has to offer. The Cove is protected, so you cannot take anything to keep as a souvenir.

Egypt, The Blue Hole.

In the Red Sea shore of the Sinai Desert, rests the blue hole. Surrounded with Bedwyn merchants, selling everything from diving gear to local food, the Blue Hole is one of the world most famous diving sites. The site doesn’t look like much until you realize that the sea floor drops abruptly away from the coastline. Many divers risked their lives in this hole. The tunnel that connects the hole with the open sea is more than 50 meters deep, that’s when nitrogen narcosis begins to influence.
