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.

5.00We 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.

5.00Great 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.

1.00We did not have a good experience on this tour. There were a lot of scenic spots on our way up to the mountains but we could barely enjoy it let alone take pictures as our tour guide Ben drove by really fast. He seemed really uninterested and didn’t seem to care about our experience. I have been on a Rocky Mountain tour before through Viator and it was an amazing experience. Our tour guide from Aspire tours was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive and made sure he stopped at all the scenic spots so we could take pictures. He also drove back to some places where we spotted mountain goats and moose. I was expecting a similar experience this time but it was very disappointing.
Amazing experience

5.00This was a great trip. Will was beyond excellent. He was knowledgeable..told stories...added humor .. and he is kind and obviously passionate about the places we visited and about Colorado. All while driving safely. Due to unforseen circumstances we did not have much time at Red Rocks but Will outlined what we needed to do to see the most in a short time. I highly recommend this trip.
