Overall Experience I had a fantastic experience on this trip! Jed, our guide, was exceptional—knowledgeable, supportive, and engaging throughout. The tour was well-managed and thoroughly planned, ensuring everyone had a safe and enjoyable time. Trip Details • Provided Essentials: • Lunch Options: Sandwiches (vegetarian or turkey). • Hydration: Water (carry your own reusable bottle). • Gear: Shoe chains for snow traction. (Provided on the spot by the tour guide based on your shoe size) Hike Overview: • Distance: 5.3 miles (round trip). • Highlights: A stunning frozen lake and snow-capped mountain peaks. • Activity: Moderate to intense hiking, including uphill climbs through snow. What to Expect • Scenery: The views at the top are breathtaking, making the challenging hike worthwhile. • Breaks: Jed ensured everyone was comfortable, allowing breaks as needed. • Temperature: The summit is extremely cold. Bring a warm jacket, gloves, and ear caps. Important Notes • Physical Fitness: • This hike is physically demanding, especially for those who aren’t active. • The altitude (~40% less oxygen at the summit) and snowy terrain can be tough to navigate. • Avoid participating if you have health issues or lack regular exercise habits. • Support: Jed and the group were understanding and accommodating, helping everyone complete the hike. Recommendation I highly recommend this experience for adventurous, physically active individuals. The combination of Jed’s insights about local flora and fauna, the incredible views, and the camaraderie make this a memorable trip! However, be mindful of the fitness level required before signing up.

The guide was phenomenal. It was the right size group. I really enjoyed it. You may want to tell people to not go on this hike on the first day in Denver. The altitude can be a little challenging until you get used to it.
