An Unforgettable Journey Through Red Valley and Rainbow Mountain

Lacy_M, Jan 2026

This adventure is an absolute must. The trek through the Red Valley on the way to Rainbow Mountain was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced — stunning, peaceful, and truly impossible to capture in photos. The beauty of this mountain range is something you can only appreciate in person. Our guide, Max, was exceptional. He set a comfortable pace up the mountain, never rushed anyone, and made sure every person who wanted a photo got one. At first I wondered why we were taking our time, but I quickly realized it was intentional — a thoughtful way to help prevent altitude sickness. Even so, altitude can affect anyone, and Max was fully prepared with oxygen and homeopathic support. He was incredibly attentive to my 6‑year‑old son and to me when I developed a migraine and altitude sickness. He never left anyone behind, and his assistant was just as helpful. Their care made a challenging day feel safe and manageable. One important note: if you’re sensitive to strong smells or prone to migraines triggered by them, avoid the ATVs. The exhaust hit me immediately when we stepped off the bus and triggered a migraine. This isn’t the tour’s fault — just something to be aware of if you’re sensitive. And a quick tip for anyone planning this trek: don’t forget your “sniffel gear” — PONCHO, gloves, a neck gaiter, a beanie, and anything else to keep you warm. The weather can shift quickly, and having the right layers makes a huge difference. Overall, this experience was breathtaking, memorable, and handled with genuine care. Let Max guide you slowly, soak in the scenery, and enjoy a journey you’ll likely never forget.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad Max and our team made this hike a safe and memorable adventure.

A long day for a 1.5 hour on site tour

The ride through the beautiful countryside was wonderful, but really long. The weather hit us hard with sleet and snow, but it did stop long enough for a few pictures.
