2024 Girls Trip - This was one of the best tours I have ever taken! It was a cold and wet day, but we all had the best time ever. Our guide, Christina, was very knowledgeable and kept us interested during the entire tour. Even though it was 20+ degrees at Red Rock, we were not disappointed. We got some great pics and well needed exercise. Little did we know that the best was yet to come. Echo Lake was the perfect photo spot! We took some beautiful pictures in the snow on the lake. We are so glad we booked this tour.

Great way to see a lot in a short time! - This is such an amazing half day tour! We did the tour on our last day in Denver and the weather was bad in the mountains. They did such a good job coming tours so we saw the Red Rocks Amphitheater, Dinosaur Ridge, Evergreen lake, the town of Evergreen, the town on Golden, elk, and deer. You can pack so much in on their tours. It is well worth it! We had the best time!

Cowboy Frank for the Win - Being able to visit Red Rocks was my favorite part of the tour!! The recent snowfall impacted some of the activities, but it was a fun day and the beauty of the mountains was breathtaking! Our guide, Cowboy Frank, was full of knowledge and a ton of fun!!

To do - Very nice, magnificent landscapes whether echo lake, Evergreen or red rocks we enjoyed all 3. The Red Rock amphitheater is not always accessible but the guide took the trouble to take us back there when it was late in the morning that day
