Highly Recommend - Perfect intro to Colorado! We had a great hike, despite not being used to the altitude yet. Jeremy had us covered with hiking poles, water and snacks and was a stellar guide. He went at our pace and had great local knowledge as well. We highly recommend this trip!

October Snow - Jeremy was incredibly accommodating about the hike start time and offered to stop on the way back for lunch. He came prepared with hiking sticks which turned out to be very helpful. He was knowledgeable about the area and was overall a super nice and experienced guide to have for our hike. Would definitely have him as our guide again and would recommend to my friends and family!

Perfect Short Distance Hike - Jeremy was a fantastic guide on the hike to Glacier Lake. He was extremely patient with me as I was not used to the altitude but made the experience extremely fun. If you are looking for a beautiful location to hike to I definitely recommend this location.
