Foothills Explorer Tour - Our tour guide, Ernie, was very nice and informative. The scenery was breathtaking. Wish there was a little more time in each place but all in all in was a great way to explore and see the outskirts of Denver.

A perfect trifecta - One would think the natural and majestic scenery on a beautiful sunny day would speak for itself, but not when your guide is Ernie. He gave the scenery context and details to complete the picture. Thank you, Ernie, for wrapping up my 5 days in Denver with the perfect trifecta.
