Fabulous guided hike with breathtaking views - Rico was an AMAZING guide. I was in town for a conference and was hesitant to take a day away but I’m SO glad I booked this hike! It was really an awesome experience from start to finish! I learned so much, had fun and experienced Rocky Mountain National Park in a way I never could have without such a seasoned and knowledgeable guide. The hike was filled with breathtaking views and our guide helped us capture some great shots. Rico also gave us tons of pointers for things to do in Denver too! I highly recommend this hike!

Best part of my Denver trip - I had an amazing experience. We had great weather and an awesome guide - Ty. He was super knowledgeable and kept us at a good pace. There was a nice sandwich with chips and cookies for lunch and all the stops we made along the way were very pleasant. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the Rocky Mountains.

Magical experience - Joshua was our guide and super nice and very knowledgeable. I love guided tours because I really enjoy knowledge they can impart and he had the opportunity to do so on the ride there. Van was very clean. The stop in Lyons for coffee and their kouign amann pastries were sooo good! I enjoy hiking. I’m no expert, though. I’m glad they provided the spikes because even with them on it was slippery due to all of the snow. It was challenging for me due to the altitude but well worth it! Amazing scenery. Lunch was windy but delicious. I would love to go back and hike there when the snow has melted.

Rocky Mountain Tour - The place is beautiful and so are the views, the guide was super friendly and did the best he could, however, despite having a lot of knowledge of the area, he did not have it in case of snow.
