Thankful to Jeremy he didn’t cancel as I was the only one hiking that day. Jeremy was very knowledgeable about weather conditions and was prepared for snow up the mountain, which I highly appreciated. I recommend this hike to people who are not sure whether they are fit for a hike. It’s relatively easy with great views.

Last minute decision to join in on a quick moderate hike for my last day staying in Denver. I called and talked to Jeremy and he was extremely accommodating to allow me to join his hike for the day including picking me up at my hotel. The weather and company were both terrific. Turned out to be a very scenic breath of fresh air to my week in Denver!
Jeremy also found my ring I had accidentally dropped in his vehicle and sent it me.🤗

Jeremy was a great tour guide and really fun conversation on the way to the trailhead. He provided plenty of snacks, made sandwiches for us and set an appropriate pace for the hike. Would definitely book another hike with him again if I got the chance!

What to expect
Escape the city and experience the Rockies with our guided hiking tour. In the summer, it’s the perfect way to beat the Denver heat, with mountain temperatures usually 20 degrees cooler, often in the 60s and 70s. As winter approaches, we can provide snowshoes or micro spikes for safe trekking.
We offer a few options depending on the season:
Alpine Lake Hike: Just an hour away, this 4-mile round-trip hike takes about 3 hours and offers stunning views and cascading waterfalls in summer.
Bison Reserve Hike: A 35-minute drive brings us to a 3.5-mile, easier hike with great views and a chance to see bison up close, separated only by a fence.
Historic Mining Area Hike: About an hour from Denver, this 4.5-mile trail leads through an old mining area, once known as the “Switzerland of America,” with beautiful scenery along the way.
Our small, flexible tours allow us to choose the best hike for the day, considering the weather and the group’s energy level. We will provide Sandwiches, snacks, water and hiking poles.
