Half-day Rocky Mountain Hike
Aaron was a fabulous guide and went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. He kept us safe on the drive to our hike and during the hike. He was the most educational and informative guide we could have asked for. The hike itself had beautiful views and was the right amount of challenge for an active family.
Great trail, great guide
It was a great trail with fun historical monuments and facts. Ty was an awesome guide. I will be requesting him the next time I book.
We had the pleasure to...
We had the pleasure to have Jerry S. as our guide. We ended up doing the full day (instead of the half day). Jerry was very knowledgeable of the history and the trials. Even when I was not feeling good due to my body still setting used to the height he was very patient and helpful. If you don't have a lot of experience hiking (or even if you do) Jerry S. will be and outstanding guide for you!! (IMO)
