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 husband & I went to Denver for a wedding & arrived two days early. We wanted to see a little bit of the Mile High City so we went in search of day tours. Came across the Colorado Sightseer website, saw what they had to offer for a 1/2 day tour & decided to take the Red Rocks, Evergreen Echo Lake tour & so glad we did. It was perfect in every way. After booking the tour we had questions, spoke with the owner who was very helpful. Arrived at the office, which was our pickup location & was literally right around the corner from our hotel. Will was our driver & he was awesome, very knowledgeable & answered all our crazy questions. You could tell Will is very passionate about this home State and the stories & knowledge he shared with us was very interesting & informative. Colorado Sightseer provided water & snacks as this was very important as the air takes all the moisture out of you so drink lots of water & snacking helps keep you moving. So if you are in Denver & need something to do for a half day we recommend experiencing one of the Colorado Sightseer tours.

This tour is better than expected! The sites and guide were fantastic and it was just amazing! Wish there was a little more time at each site but the guide was very flexible with timing of everything.

Overall our experience was good. The tour itself was excellent. We were able to see all attractions that were advertised. The only downside to our tour was our tour guide. Although he was very knowledgeable on certain topics, he was very negative. He started out our tour by telling us everything we cannot do, including talking. It gave the bus an uneasy vibe and we wish he was just a little more positive. In addition, he was also very nervous about timing and put some of his pressures on us. With some minor tweaking, this could be a five star experience.
