10/10 experience

We joined the Rocky Mountain hiking tour and hiked around Bierstadt Lake — absolutely stunning after a fresh snowfall. The trail was definitely a bit challenging and slippery at times, but the sunny weather and snow-covered mountain scenery made it 100% worth it. Huge thanks to our guide Andrew for being so enthusiastic, detailed, knowledgeable, and fun throughout the trip. He even helped carry snacks and drinks for the group 😂 (as shown in the photos). You can really tell he cares about everyone having a great experience. Highly recommend this tour if you want to experience the beauty of the Rockies beyond just the scenic drives!

Rocky Mountain Hikes 💯 - get Aaron!

What an unforgettable experience. Aaron was the best hiking/tour guide you can ever conjure up in your imagination. Engaging, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, always looking after our comfort and safety. The hikes we took at Gem Lake and Black Canyon were strenuous and a bit slick because of the ice, but we took lots of breaks to catch our breath in the high altitude. He even accommodated my request for a walk-thru at the Stanley Hotel and a pit stop for souvenirs at the gift shop before we headed home. He took lots of pictures for us climbers and regaled us with funny and insightful stories and quips all the way through. Highly recommend!

Best hiking trail for RMNP. Great value.

Aaron was super knowledgeable and enjoyable, LOVE his energy and humor on the tour. The van & transportation was smooth and comfortable. We stopped at Lyons for a good breakfast. The RMNP is incredibly beautiful & I’m very happy that we did Emerald Lake Trail. It was moderate, but Aaron did a great job guiding us, pacing us, and looking out for us. The downhill was challenging with the snow, but I really appreciate he waited and helped me get down. We also sled a bit haha. Every cent for this tour was well worth it for the view and experience.

Sightseeing during Winter

We have been booked to the sightseeing tour as the hiking tour was not having minimum persons required. The sightseeing tour was ‘okayish’, we spent 15 mins in Trail Ridge Road, 45 mins in Sprauge Lake, 1h30min in estes park downtown and remaining time was spent in bus. As I booked Hiking Tour and the day was clear, my expectation was that they will take us to bear lake or atleast one more lake. Our guide ‘Jeff’ was very helpful and kind and overall it was an average experience.
