I did three trips with Aspire in all whilst in Denver; they were all excellent.
For the full day hike in the Rockies, the excellent Kyle was my guide. He was so passionate about the area and was keen to go above and beyond so that I had the best day possible. The walk itself was to Cub Lake and was glorious. The snow had started melting and the waters beginning to flow; elk were grazing and we even glimpsed a little snake! In addition to this fantastic hike, Kyle took me to a local lookout point and even to a whiskey distillery instead when I didn't seem that enthusiastic about cherry pie! This really was a stand out day on my whole holiday. Thank you so much.
I also did the Denver Foothills trip with Jed and what he doesn't know about the local fauna, geology and geography probably isn't worth knowing. His knowledge was a definite contributing factor in how great this day was. We visited a range of local areas and the drive itself was a real insight into communities. We fed some elk and saw buffalo. It was a lovely group and thoroughly enjoyable day.
Furthermore, there was also the Breckinridge full day trip with Jen. Another excellent guide, really friendly and knowledgeable. Moreover she gave me some great advice on getting out of Denver and finding places to hike myself; one of those tips led to another one of my favourite days. The day itself took in old mining/gold rush towns, local wildlife like mountain goats (by the side of the road!) and deer, a gondola up to the ski resort where I may have indulged in a cheeky beer and then some fun sledding at the end. Really good fun.
