This hike was great! I did three tours with Dean while in Aspen, and I loved all of them. This hike was beautiful - we got so many great photos of the mountains and waterfalls! Dean seamlessly stringed together several different trails and showed us the highlights. We really enjoyed this tour.

The hike was amazing! The views along the river and overlooking Aspen were absolutely beautiful. The pace was perfect, the information shared throughout the hike was interesting and informative, and the distance felt just right. It was a great mix of scenery, exercise, and learning—highly recommend!

This was such a great hike around Aspen! My husband and I learned a lot from Dean. He took us to the must-see spots while also educating us on the history of Aspen and the people who live there today. He even took some pictures of us. I definitely recommend this hike!
