Itinerário
Onde o tour começa e termina
Viaje por este desfiladeiro montanhoso acidentado apreciando as paredes rochosas íngremes e Clear Creek correndo.
Visite o Museu e Centro de Visitantes no centro de Idaho Springs. História mineira local, exposições da vida selvagem, lembranças locais e banheiros limpos.
Desfrute de belas vistas panorâmicas sobre este lago glacial sentado a 10.600 pés no Monte Evans
A estrada pavimentada mais alta da América do Norte
Extremamente lindo lago alpino. Desfrute de uma caminhada até o lago e desça a trilha para contemplar os lagos e vales de Chicago abaixo. Nós frequentemente encontramos o Mamífero Estadual, o Carneiro de Bighorn nesta linda parada.
Chegar 14,270 pés na cimeira do Monte Blue Sky (Mt. Evans). Desfrute não só de vistas de 360 graus deslumbrantes, mas faça uma caminhada opcional até o topo do pico. Temos sorte o suficiente para compartilhar a cimeira com ovelhas bighorn locais, cabras de montanha, marmots e pika que chamam a cimeira de casa. A vista de um dos picos mais altos das Montanhas Rochosas não deve ser perdida. Fotos não podem fazer justiça, mas você vai se divertir tentando de qualquer maneira!
Passe um tempo na histórica cidade mineira de Idaho Springs para almoçar e fazer compras sozinho ou dar um passeio no caminho ao longo do Clear Creek. Aproveite a agitação desta pequena cidade montanhosa de rua principal cheia de lojas locais, restaurantes e cervejas.

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'm so glad the photos turned out great so you have those memories to look back on forever—it was a total joy showing your family around our local trails and scenic spots. Thank you for such a sweet review, and wishing you all safe travels on the rest of your journey!

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. Our guide, Christin, was absolutely the best. Her knowledge of Colorado history and local landmarks is top-notch, and she knows how to present it in a way that’s engaging, interesting, and super fun. If I’m ever back in Colorado with time for another tour, I’ll be booking with Colorado Sightseer again for sure!

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!
Great experience! Tour guide was awesome! We got many pictures of wildlife. Sense of community was developed between all on the trip. Views were breathtaking.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! There is nothing quite like standing in front of breathtaking views and sharing that awe with a great group of people. We absolutely love hearing that a true sense of community developed during your trip—our guides always strive to bring travelers together, and it sounds like your group clicked perfectly. We're also thrilled that you were able to snap so many fantastic wildlife pictures to take home with you! Thank you for choosing Colorado Sightseer, and we hope to welcome you back for another shared adventure in the future.
