We met our Guide Emily at the flagpole at union Station. FYI the flagpole is very tall and we actually missed it. However there wasa group of people gathering and it was pretty clear they were meeting for various tours. The mini bus was comfortable with excellent air-conditioning, which is important in August. When you arrive at the peak, the temperature has dropped significantly and those a very enjoyable cool breeze. we enjoyed spreading our legs oh that should’ve been stretching our legs at the first stop (upper Goliath). It is possible to drive this yourself, but the road has switch back turns and shear drops so you wouldn’t catch me driving it. Emily however, was fully trained for driving this type of route. We saw marmot and lots of goats including kids. We made a stop at a lake and there were several flowering plants in the tundra, including this gentian The tour finished in Idaho Springs where we got lunch prior to returning to Denver.
Leaving those cliffside switchbacks to a trained pro like Emily is definitely the stress-free way to do it! We got a smile out of your review—and we completely agree that stretching your legs at Upper Goliath is the better option! Catching that cool August breeze at the peak alongside baby mountain goats and blooming gentians sounds like a perfect mountain day. Thanks for the helpful tip about locating the flagpole, and we're so glad you enjoyed the ride, wildlife, and lunch in Idaho Springs.
The tour is fascinating! We are only 3persons for the tour.Kristina is knowledgeable and professional.we saw lots of animals and the top mountain’s scenery is awesome and the short trail beside the lake is also beautiful.don’t worry about the pictures, kristina is good at photography!thank u:)
Having a cozy group of three made the day feel like a fun family road trip! I was so thrilled we got to spot so much wildlife and that the mountain peaks showed off for your visit all the way from China.

I am so glad I found Colorado Sightseer and booked this tour! We had an intimate group of just three people, which made the whole experience feel so personal and truly one-of-a-kind.

Reaching the summit was so rewarding. The scenery was breathtaking, the wildlife was plentiful and our guide Will was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and took his job that he loved seriously. Highly recommended!
Reaching the summit is no small feat, so standing up there and being rewarded with those epic views and wildlife is the absolute best feeling. Will truly lives and breathes these mountains—he loves to crack jokes and keep the vibe light, but when it comes to the safety and history of the park, he takes his job seriously because he genuinely loves it. Thanks for the high recommendation and for choosing Colorado Sightseer!
I had a beautiful experience! Our guide was knowledgeable and very helpful. He made sure we had the best experience possible. The views are beautiful and I even saw a mountain goat.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Spotting a mountain goat is always such a thrilling bonus—they are the true acrobats of the high country, and seeing one against those beautiful views is incredibly special. We are so glad our guide’s deep knowledge and helpful attitude made sure you had the best experience possible. We hope to welcome you back for more wildlife spotting in the future!
