Summer
At Nova Guides, summer means adventure — hit the target in archery, reel in a catch, or glide across alpine waters. From fishing to paddleboarding, the Rockies are yours to explore.
Winter
Soar down snowy hills on a tubing run, glide through winter landscapes on skis, or take in a sky full of stars on a crisp mountain night. At Nova Guides, winter adventures go beyond the slopes, offering excitement by day and wonder after dark.
Fall
Golden aspens light up the mountains, wildlife stirs in the crisp autumn air, and archery brings a fresh challenge to the season. At Nova Guides, fall is the perfect time to explore — whether you’re leaf-peeping, spotting elk, or embracing the change of the seasons.
