5Great day out
What a wonderful day! Christin was so welcoming and knowledgeable about every location we visited. She took lots of photos which have been shared with us and went the extra mile to ensure the group’s expectations were met, even looking for moose while we were at lunch. Definitely recommend the trip and the company.

Great way to get to the mountains & experience Breckenridge, Georgetown & Red Rocks without the hassle of driving - this way you can take in the beauty of the Colorado Rockies & learn the history of our great state.

About Denver
Denver, the Mile High City, is Colorado's capital on the plains at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, with museums, breweries and the Red Rocks amphitheatre.
Denver stands one mile above sea level on the high plains, with the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains filling the western horizon. It began as a gold-rush town in 1858 and grew with railways and mining. Union Station, a restored rail hall, anchors the lower downtown, and the Colorado State Capitol has a step on its west side marked as one mile above sea level.
Top-ranked sights in Denver: Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, Larimer Square, Dairy Block.
