This is the best half day mountain tour to get out of Denver and see the mountains without spending an entire day touring. These small group tours are designed to get you out to See, Learn and Explore not just drive past. This tour really highlights the best of our Denver Mountain Park system. Visit Red Rocks Park and amphitheater, then travel up into the mountains via Bear Creek Canyon to the quaint mountain town of Evergreen. Browse the local shops or enjoy a quick drink in the Saloon, winery, or local coffee shop. Witness beautiful Rocky Mountain vistas while climbing over a beautiful mountain pass to Echo Lake at 10,600 ft. Stroll around this beautiful glacial lake sitting at the base of 14,256 foot Mt. Blue Sky and enjoy the mountain scenery. Travel by historic Genesee Mountain Park while viewing herds of Buffalo and Elk on your way back into Denver. *Wildlife viewing not guaranteed.

Our guide was very informative, but mostly left us on our own. Red Rocks was fascinating, but I'd rather the tour ended there at half the price because Echo Lake wasn't particularly inspiring, and the little town we stopped at in between was good for a bathroom break but not much else. Michele's mike wasn't working, and hadn't the day before. Since the tour didn't start until noon, there should have been time to fix it, and to clean the windows of the bus, which were pretty dirty.

Red Rocks is very impressive to see. Absolutely beautiful! Also had a nice time looking around the town of Evergreen. The scenery on the way to Echo Lake is beautiful and we were lucky enough to see several baby deer. Our guide, Anne, is wonderful. She's kind, accommodating and informative. She took pictures for everyone and offered snacks and water at each stop. Everyone had a very nice time.

We had a great tour experience with our guide, Ben! He was very knowledgeable about the area and a safe driver. It was an excellent overview of the surrounding area of Denver, and we enjoyed it! We would definitely tour with this company again.

Great sights (red rock amphitheater, Evergreen, and Echo Lake) so close to Denver proper. Hans was an excellent tour guide lots of interesting and fun (like Jolly Ranchers and Crocs are Colorado companies) facts.
