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.

Red rocks and evergreen city were favorites. Echo lake is anti-climatic, more of a restroom stop. Tour was priced right and Tour guide was friendly, accommodating, and enthusiastic. However his stories were depressing. He talked about the high cost of living in Denver, extreme summer heat, elimination of wildlife and native Americans and how many mill workers became insane within two weeks on the job due to toxins. I’m from a red stAre, we are a bit more positive about what our communities have to offer. Time to ditch the masks!!!!! Annoying, hard to hear and no one else requires them anymore. Will not go on another tour where masks are required.

Thanks for your feedback, Mary. We are Federally regulated under the Transportation Department just like the airlines.  So, in order to keep our permits, licenses, and guides working, we have to abide by those regulations. Our website, confirmations, and confirmation reminders all state that.  So, with that said, we cannot risk our small, local family-operated business being shut down due to Federally mandated regulations.

Excellent half day trip. Our tour guide Will was superb. Would be nice to go when the lakes we visited have thawed out (they were both frozen over still). Highly recommended tour!!!

Beautiful ride up the mountain. Loved the Red Rock experience. Tour guide very knowledgeable and made the trip interesting. Would recommend taking a snack, there is no eating spots until end of tour.
