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. Evans 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.

Echo Lake was absolutely amazing. Wished I could’ve had more time there. Red Rocks was very cool to see and learn about. It was overall a great experience. Lots of information and knowledge was shared. It’s a perfect opportunity to get your toes wet in what all of Colorado has to offer if you don’t have much time to spare!

Red Rocks was beautiful and even better than I imagined! Will was a witty, knowledgeable and friendly guide! Standing on the frozen Echo lake was awesome!! I can’t wait to do another tour soon!

Our tour shuttle was nice and spacious. We enjoyed a blue bird day trip on the 8:15am tour. Alex was a lovely driver and tour guide. We even had a rare opportunity to stop and see a moose traveling up the hill roadside. Great experience. Wonderful way to spend a half day in the mountains without the need for a car.
