You'll end at a beautiful vista for breakfast, instead of inside the amphitheater, which you can go into when the event concludes (~8 am). We'll rendezvous for a beautiful, guided, educational hike on a public trail at Red Rocks Park - followed by breakfast in the world-famous amphitheater! After intros, we'll scamper down the trail and set off on a 1.4-mile adventure, with the smallest of elevation gains (~350 feet). Throughout the ~70-minute hike, we'll share stories of the area's history - from the development of the park, to stories of the artists who have played at the amphitheater, to the dinosaurs who used to roam here.

I will take you out into the mountains to experience and connect with Colorado on a gorgeous hiking trail! We will usually hike a moderate trail located within 1 hour of our meeting spot in Golden. This adventure is for all level hikers. Most hikes are a bit challenging, but we will go slow and the views make the adventure well worth it! Our focus will be on immersing ourselves in the vibrancy of nature, so we will take our time and admire the beauty around us! We will walk the trail and experience trees, rocks, snow, and mountain vistas from a new perspective! We can take breaks to admire wildlife and the large and small interconnected communities all around us! In the winter, we will traverse a beautiful snow covered trail up to a scenic view. Microspikes are available if there is any concern about walking in snow or ice. At the top of our trail we will take a relaxing lunch break where you can reflect, hang out in hammocks, or explore! I will take tons of high quality pictures throughout the experience and send them to you in a google drive folder after your experience. Because of the varying terrain and high altitude in Colorado, the hike may be more challenging depending on your fitness level.
