Overview

Your adventure begins at the world-famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre, considered the world’s most iconic outdoor music venue, carved from ancient sandstone and renowned for its acoustics and dramatic setting. Walk the amphitheatre steps and take in sweeping views towards Denver.

At the base of Mount Blue Sky, enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch at Echo Lake Park, where a glacially formed alpine lake reflects the surrounding peaks. Framed by ancient bristlecone pines—some over 1,700 years old—it’s a peaceful place to recharge and capture photos.

Continue your ascent along one of the highest paved roads in North America, rising to 14,130 feet. Above treeline, the landscape opens into alpine tundra and granite outcrops where mountain goats and bighorn sheep are often seen. At the summit, enjoy sweeping views across the Rockies and the Continental Divide. If weather or road conditions limit access, we travel to the highest safely accessible point, stopping in historic Idaho Springs along the way.

Activity itinerary

Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre

  • 45m

Unlike any other establishment of its type in the United States, the Red Rocks Amphitheatre is truly a sight to behold.

Evergreen (Pass by)

Evergreen’s historic Main Street, bordered between a pink cliff wall of boulders and the rapidly flowing mountain waters of Bear Creek is compact, but full of irresistible fine arts, crafts and gifts worthy of any home, as well as bistros, coffee shops, boutiques, speciality shopping, and live music.

Evergreen Lake (Pass by)

Drive by the 55 acre Evergreen Lake Park, the recreational jewel of Evergreen. Home to the Evergreen Lakehouse, this is the perfect spot for q quick escape into nature.

Echo Lake Park

  • 30m
We will have a picnic lunch at Echo Lake. It is a shallow, oligotrophic lake situated at 10,600 ft (3,230 m) above sea level near Mount Blue Sky in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. It formed during the latest period of glaciation roughly 10,000 years ago. As glaciers retreated in the Chicago Creek valley, lateral moraines formed a natural dam to drainage, forming the lake.

Mount Evans Scenic Byway

  • 2h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Be ready for some of the most incredible views, the Mount Blue Sky Scenic Byway (formerly Mount Evans) is 28 miles (45 km) in length and gains over 7,000 feet (2,100 m) of elevation then hike the rest of the way and you’ve climbed a 14er! Chance to see bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and marmots in their natural habitat. Enjoy incredible views, in a comfortable ride.

Idaho Springs

  • 25m
Founded 162 years ago in 1859 by prospectors during the early days of the Pike's Peak Gold Rush, the town was at the centre of the region's mining district throughout the late nineteenth century.
