Thursday Morning Networking Group

I’m Nate Butler, founder of Mountain Man Travels, a first responder–owned and operated local travel agency based in Arvada, Colorado. I help real people plan active and adventure travel—from solo journeys to family vacations and group trips—to destinations like Alaska, New Zealand, Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond.

My travel story started with solo adventures and has grown into sharing the world with my wife and two stepdaughters, so I understand what different travelers actually need on the road—whether you’re going it alone, traveling with kids, or organizing a group. I specialize in adventure travel planning, including hiking, biking, kayaking, ocean cruises, and river cruises, partnering with trusted suppliers to keep every trip safe, seamless, and memorable.

With a background as a first responder, I bring a strong focus on safety, preparedness, and reliability to every itinerary—while keeping my approach down‑to‑earth and easy to work with. If you’re looking for a local Colorado travel agency that listens, simplifies the process, and builds trips that fit your real life, Mountain Man Travels is here to help you explore with confidence.
