Description
Start your Denver adventure right at Union Station and journey into the foothills that frame the Mile High City. This half-day guided tour brings you face to face with Colorado’s most beloved landscapes — without a long mountain drive.
After departing downtown, your first stop is Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a natural wonder of tilted sandstone formations that host concerts and sunrise workouts. Wander the scenic terraces, learn about its geology and music legends, and take photos of Denver’s skyline in the distance.
From there, continue west to Evergreen Lake, a serene alpine reservoir surrounded by evergreens and mountain homes. Breathe the cool air and watch paddleboarders glide across the mirrored water. Next comes Lookout Mountain, where sweeping views stretch from the Continental Divide to the plains below. Visit the overlook gardens and hear the story of Buffalo Bill, whose grave lies nearby (museum admission optional).
The return drive follows the historic Lariat Loop through the charming town of Golden and past the Coors Brewery, offering another glimpse of Colorado culture before arriving back in downtown Denver. With comfortable transport, a knowledgeable guide, and just the right mix of scenery and storytelling, this tour delivers the perfect introduction to the Rockies in four easy hours.
