What we did

Movement, mountains, and time to unwind.

Every morning started with movement.

Some days that was an easy hike through the aspen groves above the river. Other days it was yoga on the lodge deck before the sun cleared the ridge.

We ran two full-body strength sessions, one destination hike, a guided trail run to an alpine lake for those who wanted it, and a horseback ride through the meadows above camp. In between, people paddled the pond, dipped in the creek, or read on a porch.

There was room to slow down.

Free time between activities made room for rest and exploring the property. Evenings brought the group back together for dinner.

The setting

Beyul Retreat Center, on a quiet stretch of the Frying Pan.

The cabins and lodge rooms are simple and comfortable, with forest on every side. There's a dry sauna, a hot tub, and a creek-fed cold plunge, which got more use than anyone expected.

Why we run these

Because this is what the training is for.

We coach people to be strong and capable so they can say yes to things: a long hike, a river, a trail at 9,000 feet. A retreat is four days of saying yes, with the food, the lodging, and the logistics handled so all you have to do is show up.

It's also the part of our work we like most. We moved to Colorado for the mountains, and most of our weekends look a lot like this retreat did. Bringing twenty people into that for a few days, and watching someone who was nervous about the hike on Sunday finish the trail run on Wednesday, is the whole point.

Nobody has to train to come. But if you want the hikes to feel good instead of survivable, we'll get you ready. That's what Always Ready and custom coaching are for.
