Another Great Tour
My 4th tour with this company and i could not be happier with my experiences! They waited 15 minutes for me as my Uber was late arriving, then also waited for me when I had to stop and rest as that hike was kicking my butt! Always a great experience.

Great half-day hike with a naturalist?
Such a wonderful adventure. Our naturalist, Will, was extremely knowledgable about the flora and fauna. We tasted things along the way (turns out I love juniper berries, even though I don't like gin) and learned about knickiknack, trees, geologoy, you name it. No animal sightings, but I imagine that could be possible.
From departure to arrival back in Denver, everything worked like clockwork on this trip. It was a small group and we were able to explore an area of the foothills I'd never been and capped off the hike with a beer in an restaurant steeped in Colarado history.

Hike the Rockies
Wonderful experience! Went on a day trip with my husband and had a great time. Gorgeous trail, about four miles. Our guide Will was so kind/ informative. We all learned so much. We did everything from discovering animal tracks to picking wild raspberries. Can’t wait to do it again.

Wonderful hike with a Naturalist!
I would definitely give this experience 5 stars! The excursion was seamless from pick-up to drop-off and I appreciated the thoughtful amenities that were provided (water, snacks, etc). If you're visiting CO, this is a terrific way to learn about the natural terrain and vegetation. From a visual perspective, you'll be surrounded by unique beauty (bring your camera). Our naturalist was a pro. We even got to sample wild raspberries, bear berries and juniper berries on the hike. Give it a try!
