Great experience and well thought-through trip. Comfortable ride into Idaho springs (2 guides/2 cars for our group of 7) with enjoyable commentary on the sights we passed. The hike is not long at all, less than a mile each way, but it is uphill, on the snow (spikes needed) and the altitude is palpable therefore a basic fitness level is required. Part of our group, unfortunately, underestimated their abilities - the guides handled the situation well and with safety of everyone in mind, while not taking away from the enjoyment and experience for the others. The hike itself is picturesque and the views once in the glacier great - but difficult to photograph, the photos really don't do this trip justice. The thermal pools afterwards are super relaxing, and the pizza lunch was delicious.

Dan was an amazing tour guide. We had a blast and highly recommend this tour to anyone. Dan was very knowledgeable and attentive to all of our requests. I would give him 10 stars if I could.

Blair_E

Tour exceeded our expectations. Initial meet up was convenient and well marked. We assumed that the vehicle we traveled in would be bigger, as it was a smaller SUV. The commute to the trail was not too curvy and easy on the interstate. Appreciated the bathroom stop to refill our water and go before we trekked. Provided ski goggles, crampons, extra layers were much appreciated additiona. Guide Tyler led us in a mindful meditation to help me get up to the top. That really helped me get the mindset I needed to get up in the conditions we were in. When I say that the pizza is a must, bring Tupperware! Hot springs were so comforting and enjoyable. Bring some flip flops and the hot springs are separated by gender. Overall the experience was so well worth the day out of Denver and the knowledge and mindfulness we gained from Tyler was unmatched.

Tyler was an amazing guide. We got far more than we expected. With guided meditation, wonderful candid pictures and knowledge of the local geography, hot spring and eateries. You will not find a better tour.

Peggy_G

The entire experience was memorable. The elevation was messing with my body since I am from sea level. Tyler and Dan were right on point when they coached me through that experience. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you

Kristina_D

I really enjoyed the tour. The hike was difficult with the high elevation but Matt was patient and paced the hike so it was appropriate. Getting to the top and seeing the amazing views made it worth it. Indian Springs Hot Springs was the perfect activity to pair with a hike. Very relaxing and enjoyable.

Adam_N

Matt, our guide was great! The day was perfect for a hike. The stop off in Idaho springs for the hot springs and lunch was amazing!! You definitely won’t regret this trip!

Carley_W

Everything about the trip was amazing. Breathtaking views and Matt was a great guide. I liked the smaller group size. Would liked to have spend more time in Idaho springs in the town shopping but overall I loved it.

Lisa_B

Tyler, our guide, taught us how to hike safely in high altitudes. He is the ultimate guide and exceeded our expectations. Our small group made the outing even more fun. Tyler really knows outdoor sports and where to go in Colorado for whatever s tourist might enjoy. The best outing ever!
