Nate Butler
I am a passionate travel advisor based in Arvada, Colorado, specializing in active and adventure travel experiences that inspire exploration and personal growth. As the founder of Mountain Man Travels, I craft dynamic, action-packed itineraries for travelers eager to immerse themselves in the thrill of discovery—whether it’s hiking New Zealand’s rugged trails, kayaking through European fjords, exploring the wilds of Alaska, diving into vibrant Caribbean adventures, or setting sail on unforgettable ocean cruises.
With a strong background in emergency services as an EMT and Public Safety Officer, I bring a unique focus on safety and preparedness to every adventure. My firsthand experience as a solo traveler and outdoor enthusiast has now evolved into sharing adventures with my wife and two wonderful stepdaughters. Together, we seek out new challenges and unforgettable moments, which gives me a unique perspective on planning trips that are both family-friendly and filled with excitement.
My expertise lies in creating customized journeys for active travelers seeking hiking, biking, kayaking, river cruises, ocean cruises, and other adventure sports. I work closely with trusted suppliers to ensure every detail—from gear recommendations to local guides—is tailored to maximize excitement and minimize risk.
Outside of planning unforgettable adventures, I’m passionate about fostering a spirit of curiosity, resilience, and connection—both in travel and in everyday life. I believe that exploring new places and cultures, especially with family, builds lasting memories and strengthens bonds. This philosophy guides my approach to travel advising, ensuring every journey is meaningful, safe, and uniquely tailored to each traveler’s goals.
