Be ready for the 12,000 feet altitude. It will be very cool and windy and you will feel less oxygen up there.

We set out today with a very kind man named Brian. We got to see and all the beauty that the Colorado had to show us. The trip to the the top of a very winding mountain road that I didnt have to navigate was worth the price of admission! We stayed at each stop long enough to see the best stuff and kept on moving. Brian had plenty of facts about the area and was very interactive with our small group. Also, he shut down also and just let us enjoy the ride too, not overly chatty. We saw many animals, had a great lunch and got to take it all in.

What a wonderful guided tour from Denver. It saved us from renting a car and the guide gave us so much local history and knowledge we wouldn’t have gained on our own.

Comfortable ride, knowledgeable tour guide, good lunch, nice stops, and great scenic views. A little extra time at the hotel and one more pit stop would have been nice.
