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.

5.00Alex was a great tour guide and truly made our visit to Denver, Colorado unforgettable. We had the chance to see iconic landmarks like Red Rocks Amphitheater, Evergreen town, Echo lake and snow on the mountains. What really stood out was how thoughtful Alex was with the pace of the tour—he made sure we had plenty of time to take photos, soak in the scenery, and enjoy breaks without ever feeling rushed. His knowledge, friendly attitude, and attention to detail made the entire day even more enjoyable.
