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.

This tour was the perfect taste of the Colorado mountains! Christina was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and we enjoyed learning about and experiencing some Colorado landmarks. This is the perfect tour for people who have never visited Colorado and aren’t skiing or doing winter sports. The half day tour was just enough.

Thank you for the review, I agree it is the perfect half day tour, but clearly I am biased ;) Thanks again for touring with us and for taking the time to leave us such a nice review and we are glad you enjoyed the experience.

10 of us went on the 8.15 tour and had a great experience exploring the stops on this tour. The tour guide was informative and explained the locations we visited and their importance to the local area. If you want to see a lot (red rock, evergreen, echo lake, etc) in a short space of time this is a great option. Highly recommended.

A great afternoon up in the Rockies. Relaxing trip, good stops, great pace. Back by 5:15pm which was perfect. Very enjoyable. And saw elk up close!
