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.

We had a short stay in Denver and wanted to see some sights outside of the city. This was an easy tour. Kristina was our very knowledgable tour guide. We learned a lot on the tour and enjoyed the stops.

We booked 3 different tours with Colorado Sightseer - 2 full days and one half day and each and every tour was perfect. Our guide was Dawn for the Red Rocks tour and she is truly a gem. So friendly and knowledgeable and made the trip so much fun. The sights were gorgeous and Red Rocks is truly amazing. Echo Lake is stunning. We also had a quick stop in Evergreen, which is a small "old fashioned" town and was so interesting. A few years ago when we visited Denver, we took a tour to Rocky Mountain National Park and Dawn was our guide on that tour as well - we thought she did such a great job - and Colorado Sightseer is such a great company that we wanted to book our tours with them for this trip as well. You will not be disappointed!
