Your adventure begins at the world-famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre, considered the world’s most iconic outdoor music venue, carved from ancient sandstone and renowned for its acoustics and dramatic setting. Walk the amphitheater steps and take in sweeping views toward Denver.
At the base of Mount Blue Sky, enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch at Echo Lake Park, where a glacially formed alpine lake reflects the surrounding peaks. Framed by ancient bristlecone pines—some over 1,700 years old—it’s a peaceful place to recharge and capture photos.
Continue your ascent along one of the highest paved roads in North America, rising to 14,130 feet. Above treeline, the landscape opens into alpine tundra and granite outcrops where mountain goats and bighorn sheep are often seen. At the summit, enjoy sweeping views across the Rockies and the Continental Divide. If weather or road conditions limit access, we travel to the highest safely accessible point, stopping in historic Idaho Springs along the way.

5.00The tour was very interesting and the tour guide (Alexis) was not only well informed about eah site visited on the tour. She was also very knowledgeable about the geology, history, and culture of both the City of Denver znd the State of Colorado. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to interact with such a knowledgeable young person who is also equally passionate about providing a worthwhile experience to her tour participants

5.00I couldn't ask for a better tour. I booked the Mount Evans tour from Denver downtown and didn't know what to expect, but had fun on an adventure that I'll never forget. The guide was incredibly friendly and welcoming and took the time to answer questions as we spent time together in the natural environments. I even walked away with a few new friends that I met during the day.
Great tour, loved it

5.00Mt Evans and Red Rocks tour is a great way to learn more about the history of the Red Rocks and enjoy the views of Mt Evans. Although I'm a native of this area, I wasn't knowledgeable about some of the most popular landmarks in Colorado. Our tour group was small enough to feel intimate and made it easy to interact with our guide.
Mount Evans Tour

5.00Our group booked the Mt Evans tour to celebrate a friend's birthday and thoroughly enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. The staff was extremely detailed and planned an incredible picnic for our group where we got to take in the beauty of the mountains in the distance. The scenery was picturesque, and the tour allowed us to explore at our own pace.
Great service all the way...

5.00Great service all the way to my hotel. Driver/guide Roman was kind, humorous, and professional. He took great care to offer me options because of the limits imposed by my age. I would consider this tour preferable to driving oneself.
Excellent day trip.

5.00Everything was excellent. Especially the lunch accommodations that catered to my wife's difficult vegan diet. Jim was an awesome guide who gave it his very best to fulfill the tours agenda, even when the rain/snow almost made it impossible to receive the full experience. A must for any tourist seeking a great laugh and experience.
AMAZING!!!
