    This trail right off the highway and is more intended for cross country skiers or snowshoers (if you're going in the snow months). I came today with just hiking boots and sank into the snow pretty deep as the trails are heavy with fluffy snow and was less trodden. There is a lake @ some point past marker 98 but we weren't able to make it. We hiked about an hour and a half in and probably got close to the lake but had to turn around because we were often knee deep in snow. The beginning of the trail starts with a good incline but mellows out for the majority of the latter parts of the trail. There are chipmunks and birds and supposedly lynx and other wildlife (we saw the first two). There is a small peep of a creek viewable at this time of the year. I imagine that it's much more beautiful as the snow melts and the creek becomes more visible. A fellow hiker told us that there are pretty flowers there come warmer seasons. I anticipate on returning during a time when I either have snowshoes or when the snow is less fluffy.

    If you are a climber, continue up from the lake, there is a double summit peak known as "The Citadel" which is a great scramble

    Overall, steep incline for 1st mile or so and rest of the hike is nice and leisurely hike while enjoying the scenery.

    Georgetown Loop Railway is a train ride, a theatrical experience, nature views and more!…read more Dress up like a cowboy or cowgirl and really immerse yourself in a day of fun! This was my second experience and it did not disappoint. The views out the train windows are spectacular as your train winds around the mountain and you get to see a waterfall and the river rushing by! Cowboys and ladies are all dressed up to give you an experience that you'll remember for a long time! There is free parking that it can get crowded so get there at least 30 minutes early maybe more and buy your ticket ahead of time as they sometimes sell out day of.

    Georgetown Loop is a Colorado bucket list moment!…read more Exploring the Rockies by rail is the way to go. We did this for the first time on Mother's Day. My little guy loved it! Tickets are around $35 per person, only a few bucks off for my man under two which felt like a cash grab, but what are you gonna do? If you're visiting from a place where there aren't mountains, this will blow you away. But even for us locals here, the views are pretty stunning! Some are lackluster depending on which side you're seated on, you might be directly up against rocks, haha. But when it opens up, wow, just wow! PRO TIP: even if you have your QR code ticket, you MUST go inside to receive your physical paper tickets. They will not let you on the train otherwise! The novelty is there and as much as I appreciate it, I think maybe it's time to arrive in 2026. Worth the price of admission, in my opinion. Far from perfect and at times a little kitschy, but if you go with a positive attitude you'll see some spectacular views of our beautiful state!

    Great experience! I had an amazing time zip lining and couldn't have asked for a better experience…read more The tour guides, Decklyn, Mattix, and Jackson did a fantastic job explaining everything clearly and made sure we felt safe and confident every step of the way. Their communication was excellent, and they kept the whole group engaged and comfortable throughout the tour. All three of them had awesome personalities and brought such great energy and vibes, which made the entire trip even more enjoyable. I'm already wanting to go back and bring my kids. Highly recommend this experience; it was fun, well-organized, and unforgettable thanks to such a great team!

    Seriously such a fun day!! I was hesitant with the price for the silver package but the value was…read moreamazing. Our rafting guide (Henry) had great vibes and had so much bonus info that we learned during our float. The views were breath taking. The package included lunch which was actually soo good!! We told the bartender we were in a rush to get to zip lining and they were able to take our order and get out very quickly. Our zip lining experience was also super fun!! Shania & Rene were super sweet to talk to. It's also worth mentioning that we were worried we wouldn't have enough time to eat before zip lining and the office was willing to push us back into a later group. We ended up having enough time, but it was nice to see that the staff was more than willing to work with us. Amazing staff seriously helped us have amazing memories. :)

It's definitely a large operation. Check in for us involved a 100 people or so. But they've got it down. Don't plan to bring much/anything with you honestly. You can choose wet suits, dry jackets etc... It was 75 degrees in July here so our family split between wet suits and dry jackets. The latter was the better choice. You take a 30 minute school bus ride and some quick safety instructions (thanks Erico!) And then get assigned to your boat. Ours included 8 of us and a guide. Honestly that was too much but okay. Our guide was Tristan who was fantastic. Funny and engaging with fun facts along the way. But more importantly you could tell he was taking safety seriously. We did the browns canyon ride and it was a good mix of slightly challenging for the kids and fun for the adults. All in all it was a great way to spend half a day!
