The hike was awesome!! Our guide, Adrienne was fantastic! Make sure you are in good physical condition if you decide to go! The sunset was beautiful!
Amanda_J, Oct 2025
The sunset was stunning. Well worth the few inclines we climbed. Most of the hike is on flat ground. It was just beautiful.

Robin was a fantastic guide. She brought great energy and local knowledge to the tour. She even brought snacks for us!

Robin and her team were amazing! They were so accommodating to everything our group needed. We had a group of 6 - 55+ year olds mostly in shape for our age and the hike was perfect! We had amazing weather and it being at Sunset made it perfect!

We had a fantastic time hiking with Adrienne our guide. It was like she was one of our group! This hike was great for medium level fitness and coming from 6ft below sea level to 8,000 ft above was not as hard as anticipated!!! Loved this hike!!

Brian is really kind and funny person, so we can walk with good mood!
Sunset time is beautiful, so I think I really satisfied with choosing that time:)
We chose the option that pick up and drop off at our hotel, so it is really accessible.

I stayed in Denver for over a week, and this was the BEST activity I did. I got the door-to-door pickup and drop-off, so I didn't need to worry about transportation. The hike was absolutely gorgeous, and I saw SO much beauty. It was just, a phenomenal activity. We even saw a double rainbow!!
Not only that, Brian took some of the best photos of me I have ever seen. This dude is a PROFESSIONAL. He also knew so much about the area, even identifying random rocks and plants and things.
This was just a 10/10 activity, and I would recommend it to anyone who has the ability to hike a bit in the elevation.
Alison_C, Jul 2025
Brian was an attentive and accommodating guide. Very friendly and helpful. The hike was just a little challenging up but the views were spectacular and the way down very easy.

Christian_D, Jul 2025
Brian was a wonderful guide with lots to talk about and knowledge to share. He was very thoughtful and very aware of his guests. Interaction with my son was awesome! Made the hike effortless. When we return to Denver, will absolutely seek him out for our next adventure!

Hike was great! On the easier side but very scenic and a good intro hike especially if you’re not used to the elevation or hiking. Brian, the tour guide, was awesome. Very personable, felt like hiking with a friend. Would definitely do this hike again if I’m in town again.

If you like the pictures imagine what it looks like in person. Mike was our guide and gave us the best experience ever. I recommend this hike to anyone wanting to see a an amazing view of the mountains. Can’t forget about the juniper smell.

Our guide Brain is very nice and responsible. He pointed out a lot of places with good views, and help us to take good photos, which is hard when you travel solo.
Very good experience. Thanks

Hike was exactly as promised. Brian was welcoming host. You can tell he tailors the tour to his audience as much as possible. Glad we went!

Booked the hike on short notice. Had a great time. Our guide Brian made it fun. Felt like hanging out with old friends.

Brian was a fantastic guide on this evening hike in the lower parts of the Rockies south of Denver (near Red Rock Amphitheater area). We almost cancelled as I was the only one signed up and the weather was iffy. However, I'm glad I paid the extra and went with it. It was a nice hike, only one section was a little steep, and while I didn't get to see any of the colors of the sunset, due to clouds, the view was spectacular.
Theresa_H, Jun 2024
Our group loved the sunset hike. It was a perfect way to start our trip and was a great mix of a leisure hike with a few challenge spots. The views and picture stops along the route were beautiful. Our tour guide Brian was awesome! He was informative, friendly, patient, made sure everyone was having fun, and is great at helping take pictures.
Highly recommend this hike if you're looking for a fun hike with amazing views!
Franchesska_F, Jun 2024
Brian was an amazing instructor guide! He had great conversation and made the overall experience worth every minute!
Sarah_S, May 2024
Brian was awesome. He was super prepared and shared lots of jokes and fun facts all the way up the mountain. He gave us option of moderate or challenging paths we could choose from and was very considerate of everyone’s needs. My hiking buddies were equally as friendly! Would do it again.
