  • “When I first heard about the backcountry tours, I thought there was no way I could keep up—let alone skin up a mountain. But with the support of the Crow’s Nest Ranch team and my peers, I accomplished something I never imagined possible. That experience gave me confidence I carry into every part of my recovery.”

  • “Rock climbing sounded completely out of reach for me. I was nervous and doubted myself, but the therapists and guides helped me push past my fears. Reaching the top was more than a physical achievement—it was proof that I could overcome obstacles in my life and recovery.”

  • “I’d never hiked to an alpine lake before and honestly didn’t think I could handle the altitude or the distance. The staff encouraged me every step of the way, and when I finally stood at the shore, I felt a sense of accomplishment and peace I hadn’t felt in years. Adventure therapy at Crow’s Nest Ranch changed my outlook on what’s possible.”
