Mel was so knowledgeable about Colorado and was a perfect introduction to the Rocky Mountains. I would highly recommend this tour to someone visiting Colorado for first time!

This was an amazing experience of the Rocky Mountains and great view. I enjoyed the challenge of a hiking workout while having beautiful scenery. The tour guide was fun and knowledgeable. I consider myself fairly fit and it was More challenging than u assumed. The only thing that could use improvement was that the bus ride was a little uncomfortable if you’re sitting in the back was Warm the AC doesn’t hit back there.

We did our hike on Friday Sept. 18th with Phil. He was a great guide! Covid...He was very serious about Covid precautions and repeatedly told a guest in our van to keep her mask on. Also, he made us use hand sanitizer each time we entered. Sights...He was very knowledgable about the area and it's plants/flora etc. He had a lot of information for us. We saw a lot of wildlife on our way to our hike. Prairie dogs, coyote, bald eagle, and some huge elk! We saw a male just chilling in someones yard and it was a safe distance so he allowed us to take pictures. Then we went a little further and saw 6 female and one male in another yard. We got some great photos at a safe distance. Hike...We finally arrived at our hiking sight and he passed out our lunch and some of the great mineral/spring water that we picked up along the way. We started up the hill toward our destination (Gem Lake). It was a challenging hike and two people in our group were a little slower. Phil made sure we were on our way and then he checked on the other guests. He rejoined us and made sure we were headed in the right direction then checked on them again. He split his time with us which was nice that they could go at their own pace. There are a lot of steps/stairs on this hike so if you don't think you can walk a lot of stairs maybe pick a different hike. We are from the east coast and the altitude did not really bother us on this hike.
