Amazing day trip from Denver to do some hiking in the beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park!
Jed was an incredible guide - so knowledgeable about the area (he modified the route to be in a section of the national park where we would be more protected from the expected rainfall), and shared interesting info about the animals and plants we came across.

Great trail for moderate intensity and wild life
Lisa_H, Oct 2023
Great hike and Guide with good transport, stops and lunch too. Jake helped navigate successfully around two bull elk squaring off with safe distance.
Great tour, would do again!
Jacqueline_V, Sep 2023
I couldn’t have asked for a more incredible day. Before we started our hike we stopped to see a moose, and during our hike we saw deer and well over 100 elk! The elk caused us to take an unexpected detour towards the end, but I was so magical to see them. Ty is an incredible guide and he made sure everyone was safe and well-hydrated.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thank you for sharing your experience from your tour with Ty and viewing lots of wildlife! We hope to welcome you back again soon.
I would not go hiking trips with this company again ,
Mahesh_S, Aug 2023
1. I paid $199 for this hike and it was not worth it, was poorly planned, lunch was below average.
2. I felt the guide was rushing us back , did not plan bathroom break properly and did not stop anywhere in between while returning to Denver for coffee or bathroom break.
3. The trail picked was also average, guide was only thinking of where to park instead of go a known and beautiful trail.

Great hike, information and sites
Lauren_S, Aug 2023
I saw a moose and a few elk! I really appreciated our tour guide, Jed, as he knew so much about the plants, animals, history, (and travel tips for Denver)! The group was great and we found the right balance of enjoying the sites and getting a brisk hike in!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
We're so happy to hear it was a memorable and informative day with Jed on your hiking adventure!
Rainy, but fun day!
Kari_A, Aug 2023
We had one of those rare CO rainy days when we took this tour, but Jake, our guide, handled it like a pro! We saw big horn sheep, moose, ground squirrels, and other critters on our adventure. While I was expecting a bit more of a rigorous hike based on the activity description, our group consisted of folks with various hiking abilities, so Jake opted for a less strenuous hike option to Cub Lake. We didn't get to eat our picnic lunch by the lake like we'd planned due to the rain, but that was fine, and made the sandwiches and cookies all the more tasty when we did get to have them. Since our hike was cut a bit short, we stopped for beers at a local bar. Super fun and would recommend this hike to others.
