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.

Lauren was an outstanding tour guide on our half-day trip around Red Rocks and the scenic lakes near Denver. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and made the experience both fun and educational. Lauren shared fascinating stories about the history, geology, and natural beauty of the area. She was also an excellent driver navigating the winding, challenging roads with great care, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the views. The tour was beautifully planned, and we felt well taken care of throughout. Highly recommend this experience and especially Lauren for anyone visiting the Denver area!
Highly recommend this tour

Alex was our tour guide for our group of 7 and he was great! Shared a lot of interesting facts and did a great job on our drive. We did a morning tour so we were able to go into Red Rocks and check out the venue before moving on to the rest of our tour. Was able to take some beautiful walks and snap some great photos. Would recommend!
