Take the path less traveled with an expert guide from Aspire Tours! There are so many opportunities to experience the most breathtaking views and vistas in Colorado during our top-rated tour from Denver to Breckenridge. During the tour, you will get to enjoy a drive through Colorado’s famous Loveland Pass, an iconic and historic route that runs through the magnificent Rocky Mountains. The Pass was originally built as a wagon route before the construction of the Eisenhower Tunnel and provides a slower and more scenic route through the snowy mountains. Reach new and stunning heights of 11,990 feet and experience the otherworldly beauty of Colorado! There is truly nothing quite like the mesmerizing and breathtaking views from Loveland Pass. You’ll travel straight through the Continental Divide, a group of mountains that separates the United States’ watersheds into two sides, east and west. Colorado is a state full of natural wonder, and with Aspire Tours, you get to see it for yourself.

5 min

Experience one of Colorado’s most prized hidden gems! Sitting at an altitude of 9,500 feet, Sapphire Point Overlook offers some of the most incredible views in the entire state. Known for its phenomenal beauty, this overlook is a popular spot for small weddings and photography sessions. During your tour to Breckenridge, your guide will make a stop at this scenic overlook. It is the perfect vantage point for panoramic views of the Dillon Reservoir and Rocky Mountains. The Sapphire Point Overlook offers its serene and natural beauty to its visitors year-round. During the colder months, the alpine forests and mountains transform into a winter wonderland. The lake below freezes and becomes coated in powdery white snow. In the summer months, the overlook provides unparalleled views of the rugged mountains, shimmering lake, and lush green forests. Our last stop before arriving in Breckenridge, Sapphire Point Overlook, is the perfect place for a moment of quiet serenity.

60 min

Breckenridge &Continental Divide tour

My daughter and I were in CO for five days exploring colleges and we really wanted to see more of the state than just campuses. We both love to hike and explore and this was a fun way to see more and not have to drive! Gable, our tour guide was delightful. I highly recommend!

I live in Denver and...

I live in Denver and decided to take a tour to see the foliage. I learned great information about Colorado and had a wonderful time. Our guide Jed was extremely knowledgeable and the trip ran smoothly as planned (except minor traffic on the way home - which is expected on the peak weekend).

Disappointed.

Did not get a chance to do it. We were very, very disappointed. The tour company canceled the tour. They suggested another tour, but it was not no where compatibility. That tour did not cover what the tour reading was either. We need a re-fund.

Operator response

Hi! Thank you for booking with us and sorry we could not accomodate. We do need a minimum number of passenger to run the tour. And with the weather being so unpredictable in May - the bookings were not consistent for this particular tour. We made sure to contact you a few days out so you would have enough time to book with another provider. We certainly hope you had a great experience that day with or without us. We hope to see you next time.

Ask Izzy about Rattlesnake Kate!

I have always wanted to see Red Rocks and this tour made that possible. This has the best combo of stops: Red Rocks, the Loveland Pass Continental Divide and Breckenridge! Izzy was a fantastic tour guide - great stories, including Rattlesnake Kate, and great knowledge of the area. The views from Loveland Pass were breathtaking - we were lucky to see it with fresh snowfall. Spending a few hours in Breckenridge was the perfect amount of time to ride the gondola, shop and have lunch. The day was well planned out and starting at 9 and back by 5 was perfect so you can make dinner plans back in Denver! I highly recommend this tour and ask for Izzy as your tour guide!
