This was a great tour and a beautiful place. Loved this trip, before we got to Mt. Evans we made a few stops, one at a beautiful river with great views, we hiked around for a bit and got lucky to see some rafters coming down the river at a pretty good speed. We also stopped at Idaho Springs a really cute village where we had lunch. After lunch we headed up the mountain. The road was a bit scary at times as there are no guardrails and some of the turns are pretty sharp, but our driver and tour guide Ben and his expert driving skills made us all feel comfortable on our way up. The top of Mt. Evans is just beautiful, a bit chilly at around 40 degrees, we had time to explore and take some amazing pictures. We even had a short sleet shower where the clouds completely covered the mountain it was a very cool experience to get engulfed in a cloud that high up. The storm was short and we then headed back down stopping at a beautiful lake. I would definitely recommend this trip and be sure to ask for Ben our amazing tour guide.

This was a full day tour with Hudson as our tour guide. Our group was small (5) and everyone arrived ahead of the scheduled meet up time and we departed right on schedule. The forecast also projected an 85% chance of rain, so Hudson worked us through the tour on a route that insured we saw the beauty of Red Rock and Mount Evans before the rain started. Throughout the day Hudson was engaging and knowledgeable and his commentary added to the natural beauty and awe of the trip. Mount Evans was breathtaking! I would highly recommend this tour and Hudson as a guide.

We had an amazing time on this tour! We were in Denver for 3 days and chose to use our one full day on this out of town excursion. Our guide (Ben) was very knowledgeable and helpful during the tour. I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking to see the sights outside of Denver.
