Overview

Join us on an adventure to one of Colorado’s tallest mountains! We’ll start by taking in the views at one of the world’s most unique and scenic outdoor music venues, Red Rocks Amphitheatre. From there, we’ll head towards Mt. Blue Sky (formerly known as Mt. Evans) on a scenic bypass with panoramic views. Enjoy your lunch and stroll at Echo Lake. Drive up Mt.

My family with young kids had the incredible opportunity to embark on a private sightseeing tour of Mt. Blue Sky, guided by Aaron. It was the highlight of our trip! Aaron is an expert in his craft, and his knowledge of the area and passion for the natural beauty of Mt. Blue Sky were evident. We especially appreciated that when Aaron heard we wanted to visit Dinosaur Ridge during our stay, he on-the-fly, added it to our itinerary. It was so thoughtful and made the experience all the more memorable! The day was well planned, and we never would have found the views, wildlife, and hidden gems on our own. Every moment was a picture-perfect postcard. (Aaron also happens to be a great photographer, so hello, next Christmas card!) Highly highly recommend!

Lots of wildlife sightings. Great guide. Good value for the money. Please remember to tip the guide - just polite.

What a fantastic tour. We went to Echo Lake, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, as well as Mt. Evans. We say sheep, marmots, bison and more. Our guide Jed was amazing. Not only was he wonderful to make sure we all had a great time, were safe, and not having any side effects of the altitude, he is a walking encyclopedia. Wow we learned a lot. Highly recommend this tour, and Jed as a tour guide.

I booked the Mt Evans tour but had to change to RMNP. Boy, am I glad that I did! It was a wonderful time and I got to see many different areas. Ken, our guide did an excellent job. He also had a wonderful playlist that we all enjoyed. I love that we got to see so much of the park with so little effort - just relax and enjoy the view. I was hesitant to spend 8 hours on a tour but the van was comfortable and the time flew by. Ken picked us up in Denver and we were in the park in no time.
