Testimonials

"Me and my wife were visiting family in Denver and decided it would be great to see the mountains. My cousin recommend Lockwood so we called and set up a appointment and luckily was able to squeeze us in. We had a great time he is very funny and knowledgeable, was personable and easy to talk to. Price was reasonable and he brought his dog with us which was super sweet and loved to play. Would definitely recommend and book again!"

"I must admit that I was very skeptical of a vacation that involved backpacking. As someone who was used to staying in nice hotels, I didn't immediately see the appeal of leaving all those comforts behind. 
I've now been on several trips with Jeff, all to the most beautiful, untouched places in the US. I came to learn that backpacking does not have to be arduous or uncomfortable in the slightest, and when you are with a guide that knows the land and its secrets, you'll be treated to an experience that has no comparison. 
If you want an adventure, a real life adventure that you'll recall for the rest of your life, you need to look up Jeff Lockwood."

I had the wonderful experience of hiring Jeff over the summer when I needed to get away for a little while, but I wasn't content with just sitting around in a hotel doing things I could do at home. I needed a new adventure and that's exactly what I got! I have never backpacked before, so I was nervous about doing it for the first time. But Jeff was so helpful in not only making sure I had what I needed, but he also took the time to make sure I understood as well, for my own future endeavors! Through the hike itself, he was also very patient and motivating (and a fun conversationalist) and I'm sure I don't have to say what a relief it was to have the gear already provided. Especially when you're someone who's just trying it out for the first time, like I was. Jeff was knowledgeable about the areas as well! I'd recommend this to anyone.

Let me tell you something about Jeff: He is a master of the outdoors in his own right. I thought I knew how to get around on a backpacking trip, but Jeff showed me the ropes properly. Our trip was to Linville Gorge, North Carolina in 2013 and it was an amazing experience. I was not well prepared, but Jeff surely was with all the right equipment and knowledge. Jeff knew how to navigate the back trails of the mountain landscape and set up camp each night in a well positioned area. By the end of the excursion, I was amazed I even had the opportunity to see such a beautiful remote area and it was all made possible with Jeff's skills. I would definitely go on another backpacking trip with Jeff and recommend him to anyone else looking for a fulfilling outdoors experience.
