“Brian was super sweet and knowledgeable! He prepared the yaktrek for us as it was still some snow on the ground and giving us options to hike for me and a lovely couple on that day. We ended up chose the easier path as all of us haven’t done this before. Brian made sure everyone is well attended, safe and enjoy the trek!! I haven’t had that much fun in such a long time and he made us feel fun and energized throughout the day!”

Review of a private nine-hour birding hike from Denver to Rocky Mountain National Park, with wildlife, lunch, private transport, and a naturalist guide.
“BOOK THIS TOUR! We had a great time with Ryan the Birdman. This is not your normal scripted tour. There is no stop 1, stop 2, stop 3.... Since this is a private tour, Ryan can ad lib to your liking. On our tour we saw Moose, Bald Eagles Golden Eagles, Horned Owls, Elk, Wild Turkey, Prarie Dogs, and more. There is no way we would have saw the things we did without Ryan. He would be driving and then just pull off the road, pull out his binoculars and call us out to look at some incredible animal. I cannot recommend this tour enough.”

“Using this service was completely worth it. With Jerry (aka Jtrain) guiding us it allowed us to completely relax and enjoy the experience versus trying to figure it out & stressing. Great hike completely exceeded expectations. Saw a moose, an elk, cool birds, and more. Definitely would use them again.”
A practical review of Colorado Hiking Co’s half-day Rocky Mountain hike from Denver, with guide, cost, fitness, altitude, and packing advice.

Review of a private llama hike near Denver, with Rocky Mountain scenery, friendly guides, a 3-mile trail, and practical booking advice.
“Fun, unique, relaxing hike with personable llamas and lovely guides! If you want a memorable experience outdoors, this is well worth the price. Our guides Kara and Brent were friendly and clearly love their llamas. Kara gave us facts about local mountain flora, so we also got an educational nature walk. The llamas were relaxed and easy to handle, had unique personalities with their own quirks, and were very cute and silly. It was a relatively easy hike and a good length, about two hours. Very happy with our experience and I would recommend it to anyone I know.”
Review of Denver’s guided alpine lakes hike, with trail options, snow conditions, guide Jeremy, pricing, fitness needs, and booking advice.
“Great drive to the mountain with plenty of views. Hiking was great and Jeremy brought plenty of supplies for my group to use. He knew the terrain and was able to explain about Denver, Boulder, and the Rockies. We took plenty of short micro breaks and we had a good lunch overlooking a lake. Can’t recommend this trip any higher”
Review of a guided Rocky Mountain National Park hike from Denver, with lunch, transport, wildlife, seasonal scenery, costs, and practical tips.
“The guide cut the hike short due to the weather (which was false alarm), however, no partial refund has been offered. Disappointing”
Review of Colorado’s private two-day hiking and camping trip, with Crater Lakes, Caribou Ranch, campfire meals, pricing, and practical tips.
“Jeremy was an amazing host because he went above and beyond what the tour promised. He made sure we were never hungry and was ever-hospitable as we camped out in -10C at night in the Colorado wilderness. He also included stops on the way when he learned we hadn't seen Estes Park and supplied crampons and anything else the weather demanded for no extra cost. He is a deft cook and his knowledge of contexts the world over makes him a good conversationalist. I'd highly recommend, especially for transplants/ internationals unfamiliar with rural areas of the US and how things work there. Best value and a quality experience.”
Hike Colorado’s pine forests and meadows with friendly llamas on a private, family-friendly adventure near Denver.
“This was one of the most fun things we have done on vacation. The tour guides, Kara and Brent, were friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable with Elvis and Tribby. We learned a lot about the area, the different plants and trees, while enjoying the beautiful views up in the mountains. The hike is perfect for beginners or people who are not regulars to hiking. If you are looking for something different to do, I would highly recommend this hike.”
By the kind of day you want, or the country you are standing in.
