Enjoy the beauty of a hike in the Rockies without the worry of getting lost or picking an unsuitable trail during this full-day excursion. Plus, save your strength for the hike thanks to round-trip transportation and learn about the wildflowers and wildlife from your guide, something that would be harder to do alone.
We will carpool to a hiking trail within an hour drive from Denver, and we'll hike for 2-4 hours in the Rocky mountains. We'll get some sunshine, see pretty views, maybe see some wildlife, take a few snack and water breaks, learn about the wildflowers and trees, make new friends, get some exercise and breathe in the fresh mountain air! In the winter months, we'll provide "Yak Traks" that you put on your shoes to improve the traction on ice and snow.
Depending on the length of the hike, we can pick up sandwiches on the way and eat lunch on the trail, or we can get lunch together after the hike, or you can do your own thing for lunch after the hike.
The hike will be easy to moderate for people in good physical shape, but it can be very challenging for people who do not exercise regularly and are not used to altitude. The hike will take place in the Rocky Mountains west of Denver, NOT in Rocky Mountain National Park. The elevation will be somewhere between 6,000 and 12,000 ft.
Minimum group size is 2 hikers.
