Georgetown Outdoor Discovery is a small adventure company based in Georgetown, Colorado, offering private guided outdoor experiences focused on winter recreation and family-friendly hikes. The company runs three core two-hour experiences: a Private Snowshoe Tour, a Private Hiking Tour designed for families with children aged 7 and under, and a Private Cross‑country Lesson for children age 8 and up. Each outing is led by a guide who tailors the route and pace to the day's conditions and the group's needs.

All experiences are private, allowing families and small groups to choose a comfortable pace and focus on safety and enjoyment.
