About Cottonwood Gulch Expeditions

Our mission is to provide transformative outdoor experiences that foster personal growth, build
community, and inspire a lifelong connection to the natural world. We have been leading outdoor
expeditions since 1926, and currently work with hundreds of students (or “trekkers,” as we call
them) each year. We use the outdoors as our classroom to explore science, culture, history, art, and
adventure in New Mexico and surrounding states, all with the goal of inspiring personal growth
and a strong community. We steward an active alumni base, who represent multi-generational
connections to CGE.
