What an amazing trip! You leave Denver and venture into the mountains and you reach the summit at about 1500 feet above sea level. Nick was our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor.

Perfect mountain escape that works for all ages and/or activity levels. Very chill trails that are perfect for anyone who isn’t a hiker and perfect for families, older couples who aren’t as active, or anyone who isn’t able to overexert themselves on a typical trail. My teenager and I both enjoyed it. I’m an avid hiker, but recovering from an extended illness and he’s a gym rat, but not a hiker. It was perfect for the both of us. Our guide, Dylan, was a historian and storyteller all wrapped up into one. He has a friendly, approachable vibe and his extensive knowledge of the Rocky Mountains and surrounding are and Denver history was amazing. It was like an enjoyable history lesson in a comfy, air conditioned van with pit stops at places picked out for breathtaking views (which made for great photos). The tour is a short 4 to 4 1/2 hrs and it’s great for someone with limited time or someone who doesn’t want to or can’t do a full day excursion. I loved the experience so much that I’m heading out again, but for a full day excursion later this week, to make sure I get one last outing before it’s time to head back to the Southwest desert I call home.
