Exploring the CO mountains - It was great going with Joe! We started off in the morning with some mild weather and drove into the foothills and canyon. The weather wasn't so good in some spots so I asked if he could figure an alternate plan, and he was very flexible. Seeing all the spots on the river, the Rockies for the first time, and talking to him was a fun time. It was like I was on a trip with a friend and I could just learn so much about the natural history of the area. A friendly and respectful guide who knows the area like the back of his hand and the beautiful canyon made this a great trip for me!

Winter hike and drive around the area - Joe had so much great knowledge about the area, history, geology, and local flora/fauna. Fantastic trip felt very welcome and was catered to group level and experience. Took us around the area and went to some local places. Well versed in the regions background on what was worth stopping at. Friendly with local businesses and was willing to adjust around our timeline. Planning on coming back for another trip!

Fun Hike With Nature Knowledge - Joe picked me up and then we picked up another solo traveler, it was a great ride up the poudre canyon. The trail was very fun a steep ascent on the way up but Joe had a lot of fun stops, talking about the canyon ecology, fire recovery, and wildlife in the area. We stopped at the top for a quick lunch and to take in the scenery. We stopped at a local landmark on the way back for a quick bite before he dropped us back off in town. I really enjoyed the trip and especially enjoyed being there with another solo traveler.

Eco-hike Excellence - Joe was great, he picked me up right on time and he had rescheduled our trip because of an freeze warning, so he has an eye on local conditions. He also had a lot of interesting information to share about geology, ecology, and the wildfire in the area a couple years back. I would highly recommend this guided hike.
