The day started at union station and for awhile did not know if the guide was going to show up…read more When time came, two guides popped out, split people into two group and led us to the van. PRO TIP: try avoiding the most back row if you have long legs or any stress with mobility. Because once you sit there, the seat is assigned and you will have to deal with being cramped in a tighter space. And you basically are always the last one to get off. This was one of the biggest cons. Moving on, the tour itself was great. We stopped by a cafe on the way to and back, for food and bathroom breaks, and pretty soon, the van took us to the Rocky Mountain with beautiful views and even saw many wildlife - the big horn sheep, elk, deer (i think), and, not to forget, smaller animals like birds, mouse, and chipmunks, but no moose spotted. Nonetheless, the breathtaking view of the Rockies is certainly worth the journey. The guide was very knowledgeable about trees and shared many stories about the places and tips for visiting Denver in general! She also took us to a few Native American owed stores that featured indigenous art that were very cool to see. One thing to note is that I think the Colorado Sightseer, the tour company, had listed at least two slightly different itineraries, and I might have been sent to the one I did not pick. I noticed because I intentionally picked the tour with visits to two visitor centers, vs the one I went on only took us to Beaver Meadows. Not a big deal bc I did get still get my stamp, and the tour used most of the day's time efficiently by visiting many attractions. But this might be something you want to make sure if the stops matter a lot to you. Nonetheless, with a group tour, it is understandable and expected for the itinerary to potentially change. For instance, the day I went, the tour guide actually too us to visit places in different order to avoid crowds. Another thing to really appreciate is that the tour provided some snacks, extra gloves/beanies, which were really a lifesaver in the cold mountains. I know I was not fully prepared for it and so glad I could borrower some!

It…read moreturned out to be such a great success that my friends and I were anxious to get out again this summer for another destination we were interested in, hoping it would be equally as fun as the last. We chose Apache Falls, a tall glorious waterfall in a remote part of southern Colorado. Since we had such a good chemistry with our Savvy Hiker guide last year, we chose to hire them again for this trip. Knowing this hike had different elements than last years Lost Creek adventure, we figured it best to find out what kind of preparation would best for success. Jessica Martin our guide, once again nailed it. Building on what she taught us on the last hike, we were able to use that knowledge and gain a little more with a different environment and different time frame. We did a 2 day, one night hike and hit our destination comfortably even though there were some more challenging issues related on where to camp due to more lush thick forest, undeveloped trails, and unforgiving terrain. After being nervous at the beginning that this would be too difficult, I had to write another review about how pleased I was that we all had a great fun filled hike with all the stories and laughs once again, and a feeling of conquest of a feature not many see. Now, I feel confident to up the stakes next year and keep the tradition and growth of knowledge going for what might be the best hike yet.

We had so much fun on the Yampa River trip with Centennial Canoe in June that we decided to go on a…read moretrip on the Colorado River through Horsethief and Ruby Canyons with them in July! I'd been on this stretch of river before but my wife hadn't and I wanted her to see the magnificent canyons and paddle this fun stretch of river while enjoying the cooking and hospitality provided by Centennial's amazing guides. Mike, Nolan, Cam and Alba were our guides on this trip and they didn't disappoint. There's a surprising amount of work organizing a river trip from getting required permits, complying with government requirements, planning and supplying meals, providing adequate water, providing bathroom facilities (the Groover is the 'Gender Neutral Restroom' ;-)) as required by the BLM, working out shuttle arrangements, and more. Centennial does it all so efficiently that I suspect customers who haven't planned their own canoe trips don't even realize what's gone on in the background to make these trips as smooth and comfortable as they are. Each night after we had pitched our tents and those on the trip were getting together, our guides would bring out snacks and wine for us to have while they prepared dinner. Andy, a college professor and historian, was on this trip to talk about the history of the region and share stories of early settlers and outlaws that were in this part of Colorado. I've given this company 5 Stars, but I can also say that I keep coming back to spend time with them and repeat customers is a sign of a well run service. Luxury in the back country!
