This tour was absolutely amazing! Aaron was the perfect guide for our eclectic group. He was engaging and personable, making sure every one was comfortable while traveling. Aaron is a well travelled individual, so he was able to easily connect with everyone on the trip, which included individuals from Europe, Asia, and various parts of the U.S. He also was very knowledgeable of all things Denver and surrounding areas, and was able to easily answer our questions.
Our visits to Red Rocks and Mt. Blue Sky can't be compared to anything else we've ever done. I'm still amazed at the perfection of the rock structures that make for an awesome listening experience. And who knew traveling up a 14,000+ foot mountain would be so easy? Aaron made sure to travel carefully up the mountain while sharing the backstory of the mountain and entertaining us with the perfect, singable playlist. He also made sure to check in with us regarding our well-being. Scaling a 14-er is not the easiest thing to do, but Aaron helped us manage with ease.
Mount Blue Sky is so beautiful! The water in Summit Lake is pristine and the feel of the cool, mountain breeze is invigorating. Along the route, we were lucky enough to see big-horn sheep, mountain goats, a herd of elk, marmots, and ravens, none of which was guaranteed. We even saw a double rainbow on the way back. What a perfect day! It was a joy to be able to take time to stop and admire the beauty of nature.
Book this trip with Aaron and make sure you leave the entire day free so you can enjoy all the tour has to offer (i.e., don't make dinner plans).
Thank you, Aaron, for being so kind, fun, energetic, knowledgeable, and caring. You made this trip one for the ages! We can't wait to come back to Denver and book again!
