One of a kind experience! The frozen lake when you reach the top will take your breath away. Trey was an amazing guide with great stories, very accommodating, knowledgeable & funny, But most importantly, he was not weirded out that I collect rocks and pick some up on the way LOL. Trey will guide you the way with equipment and educate you on the elevation as some people may not adapt well to high altitude. Pictures will not do this place justice. Just Book and Go! The hot springs was a nice experience, we opted out on the pizza. Thank You Adventure Colorado Tours (shout-out to Trey).Amazing experience. Good mixture of hiking and relaxing. Knowledgeable and experienced guide. Thank you!

This was the best experience I had in Colorado. Alli & Trey were Amazing tour guides. 10/10 recommend. Even the challenges going up so high didn’t even seem so challenging because they kept giving us little breaks in between to catch our breaths. That helped tremendously. Especially because I have asthma but they were prepared. The day turned out to be amazing as well. This day really didn’t owe me anything. The pictures I took did not do what I actually saw any justice at all. You have to experience it yourself. The hot springs was a nice experience. Very relaxing. The pizza was immaculate! Chef kiss** Thank You Adventure Colorado Tours!
