Shared Half-Day Mountain Tour in Red Rocks Evergreen and Echo Lake

Overview
This is the best half day mountain tour to get out of Denver and see the mountains without spending an entire day touring. These small group tours are designed to get you out to See, Learn and Explore not just drive past. This tour really highlights the best of our Denver Mountain Park system. Visit Red Rocks Park and amphitheater, then travel up into the mountains via  Bear Creek Canyon to the quaint mountain town of Evergreen.  Browse the local shops or enjoy a quick drink in the Saloon, winery, or local coffee shop. Witness beautiful Rocky Mountain vistas while climbing over a beautiful mountain pass to  Echo Lake at 10,600 ft.  Stroll around this beautiful glacial lake sitting at the base of 14,256 foot Mt. Evans and enjoy the mountain scenery.  Travel by historic  Genesee Mountain Park while viewing herds of Buffalo and Elk on your way back into Denver.  *Wildlife viewing not guaranteed.

My wife and I took this tour with Will as our guide on a Saturday in March. It was absolutely fantastic. Will is extraordinarily knowledgeable about the history and geography of Colorado, so the driving time between sites was very entertaining. All of the stops on the tour are gorgeous, and Echo Lake was especially breathtaking. I highly recommend this tour, specifically with Will as the guide.

The tour was in the afternoon in a small van, so there was not a hassle in getting in and out with a lot of people. Our guide, Will, was outstanding. He was very personable and knowledgeable about the history of the sites we visited.

We are visiting Denver from Calgary and wanted to explore the mountains with a guided tour. We originally booked the full day tour to Breckenridge but were called in the morning letting us know the weather conditions were not safe enough to make it up the higher mountains so we took the afternoon tour instead and are very glad we did! The tour guide, Will, was amazing and knows so much about the areas we went to. He kept us interested and entertained the whole time we were on the bus with facts and stories about the history, wildlife, geology, personal experiences and more. We learned so much and definitely recommend this tour!
