Andrew was an absolutely fantastic guide. He treated each of us like old friends and was super respectful of the varying levels of hiking expertise within our group. If you’re looking for a fun hike with stunning views led by locals who know their stuff, definitely book this day trip.

Brilliant hike

Brian_H, Apr 2024

The hike was really great. The host Lauren was excellent and very patient. The only recommendation to improve is the driver driving skills, tailgating is dangerous.

It was a good hike with 3...

Denise_L, Apr 2024

It was a good hike with 3 people and Andrew, our guide. None of us were very athletic and Andrew was able to set a good pace that was not punishing and we took small breaks. Beautiful views.

Beautiful afternoon spent

S_K, Apr 2024

The hike was soulful! The best part was we were a small trio with Andrew (the torchbearer) so all our queries were well-attended to along the way and we also got to spend around 20m at the viewpoint which is way more than usual. We never got disbanded and completed it at an above average lap time, despite being beginners. Andrew is a very competent instructor and lead. Thanks for this wonderful experience!

Fantastic guide, stunning scenery

Perfect Hike For Anybody With Little Spare Time While In Colorado

Chris_H, Mar 2024

Wife and I were in Denver for a work trip. We wanted to at the very least see and maybe hike in the mountains, and very spur of the moment found this Guided Hiking Tour hosted by Lauren. We didn't have any car or transportation, and Lauren graciously allowed us to ride with her to the hiking trail (huge win right there). Lauren is wonderful, and is very accommodating to each person in the group. This hike is not fast paced or slow paced, and she will go as each person in the group goes. Lauren is very knowledgeable and eager to share all of the wonderful facts that the Colorado Rockies have to offer! This is listed for a beginner hiker, but if you're not experienced, you may want to consider it more for intermediate sort of hike (we peaked at 8,000 ft). Lauren is very good at communicating tips along the way (especially if you're hiking through the snow and mud). If you're considering whether to do this hike...please don't hesitate and do it. The views, sounds, and even smells of the nature all around are worth it, and you'll be glad you did this adventure. We can't thank Lauren enough for a great afternoon and adventure :-)

You MUST tour with Lauren!

Tiffany_K, Mar 2024

Lauren is an incredible tour guide and very knowledgeable about the science of the Rocky Mountains. I am very grateful!

Refreshingly edgy!

Felton_W, Mar 2024

The shared knowledge and experience amongst the group—- awesome bonding in a short time span spirally throughout the snowy/icy paths—-WOW!

Amazing!

Jaqueline_G, Jan 2024

Lauren was simply amazing! She is so kind and made sure we were all comfortable on our hike making sure to have frequent breaks based on our groups ability. She shared knowledge on local wildlife and landmark features along our way as well. Overall the hike wasn’t too challenging and had a beautiful look out point. Lauren also maintained communication prior to our hike & ensured we were all prepared for our trip! 10/10 recommend

Hiking with Lauren was excellent!

Jason_N, Jan 2024

A hiker named Lauren was an amazing tour guide, knowledgeable, fun and delivered for our group. She explained our trails options and allowed us to choose - our group wanted views so we ended up with a more challenging hike. Lauren was a ton of fun and had a great personality to go along with her knowledge of the trail and how to keep everyone standing and get everyone home safe.

Nice hike, great views, awesome guides!

Caity_S, Dec 2023

This was a great hike! Not too far out of Denver and the views from Panorama Point are amazing! Mickey was our guide and she took great care of our duo. She always made sure we were feeling ok from the elevation change and was a wealth of knowledge about the trail and nature we hiked through. If you are looking to support a local, woman owned business give them a call!

Chicago meets Colorado.

Rosylen_M, Dec 2023

Lauren was a great tour guide. My brother and myself were on the tour with a group of great people 12/9/2023. Great experience. First time hiking. It was hard but worth it, once we got to the top!!!!

Mickey was an excellent guide, friendly, calm and had lots of useful information to share. We had a beautiful hike in the snowy Rockies on an appropriate route for the conditions and group ability. Highly recommend.

Top-notch, will definitely book with guide again!

Jennifer_W, Nov 2023

Lauren was simply the best. Jovial, knowledgeable, caring, friendly and kind. Small group enabled lots of interaction, pauses for insane photos, hike at steady pace and general revelry in the beauty.

10/10 a must do in Denver

Claire_J, Nov 2023

Lauren was amazing! She had interesting facts to share about things we saw on the hike & was accommodating to the group needing to adjust to the altitude. The group was light hearted & fun. Would highly recommended!

Great trip, highly recommend

Rory_G, Nov 2023

We had an excellent time, I would highly recommend to others. Lauren was extremely kind and a great guide - sharing information about the area, survival tips, and adjusting the pace based on the needs of the group. If we are ever back in Denver, we would definitely sign up for another

A Great Saturday Hiking near Denver Area

Luis_O, Oct 2023

Was a Great Experience for me and mi young kids (13 and 15 years old)...The Weather was not the best, but the Lauren make the difference.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you so much for hiking with us! We can control a lot of things on our tours, unfortunately weather is not one of them. I so enjoyed hiking with you and your family! We get 300 days of sunshine a year so next time you’re in town we will definitely get you on a sunny hike 😊

Awesome wintery day!

Erika_B, Oct 2023

It was a great experience regardless of the cold snowy weather! Lauren our guide was excellent and experienced!

Response from Host, Nov 2023
