Traveler reviews
Andrew was great! Really...
Andrew was great! Really nice guy, knowledgeable, and kept the group together really well. Highly recommend.
10/10 experience
We joined the Rocky Mountain hiking tour and hiked around Bierstadt Lake — absolutely stunning after a fresh snowfall. The trail was definitely a bit challenging and slippery at times, but the sunny weather and snow-covered mountain scenery made it 100% worth it. Huge thanks to our guide Andrew for being so enthusiastic, detailed, knowledgeable, and fun throughout the trip. He even helped carry snacks and drinks for the group 😂 (as shown in the photos). You can really tell he cares about everyone having a great experience. Highly recommend this tour if you want to experience the beauty of the Rockies beyond just the scenic drives!
Great hike! We stopped at...
Great hike! We stopped at the Stanley Hotel for pics, complete a hike at Gem Trial, then topped it off at the National Park visitor center.
Rocky Mountain Hikes 💯 - get Aaron!
What an unforgettable experience. Aaron was the best hiking/tour guide you can ever conjure up in your imagination. Engaging, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, always looking after our comfort and safety. The hikes we took at Gem Lake and Black Canyon were strenuous and a bit slick because of the ice, but we took lots of breaks to catch our breath in the high altitude. He even accommodated my request for a walk-thru at the Stanley Hotel and a pit stop for souvenirs at the gift shop before we headed home. He took lots of pictures for us climbers and regaled us with funny and insightful stories and quips all the way through. Highly recommend!
Great time!
Brennon was an awesome guide! 10 out of 10 recommended asking for him. Great guy had lots of fun saw lots of cool places and climbed higher than I’ve ever climbed before! Will definitely come back.
