What to expect
When you visit Colorado, you shouldn't miss the Denver Foothills. Experience some of the most impressive and popular spots on this half-day tour.
The first stop is Red Rocks Amphitheatre, approximately 10 miles west of Denver, a natural wonder in Colorado that was built into a giant red sandstone formation. This "Garden of the Angels" took over 200 million years to form and is a unique venue that has hosted a variety of singers from a multitude of genres. Up next is Evergreen Lake Trail, part of Dedisse Park. The trail itself forms a 1.3 loop around Evergreen, CO. Enjoy the easy walk and breathtaking views. When you reach the back of the lake, take a few minutes to admire the old Warming House and Nature Center.
As you continue, you will take in views from Lookout Mountain. Located a few minutes from downtown Golden, it is one of the best places to revel in nature's bounty. The span is wide and was used as a lookout by the Ute people. At the summit, you will find the grave site of Buffalo Bill. Your journey then takes you through Lariat Loop, just west of Denver. As you navigate through canyons, meadows, and open spaces, you'll discover a blend of natural beauty, historical museums, and settlements that cater to all interests.
Finally, as you drive through the downtown area of Golden, CO, you'll get a taste of its local charm and pass by the renowned Coors Brewery. Get ready to take a lot of pictures on this memorable tour.
