This is a nice hike thats not far from Denver or difficult to hike. It takes less then an hour to get there and is about 30 minutes up to the lake. You can walk around the lake to where the glacier and cascades are and take in some amazing views before heading down and back to Denver. The whole trip can take less then 4 hours and well worth it.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this hike, or can kids join?

A: Kids are totally welcome on this hike! It’s fairly easy and the views around the lake are amazing for all ages. Just make sure they’re up for some walking and can handle the elevation gain. I took my 8-year-old and he loved it!

Q: What should I wear for the hike? Is it rocky or strenuous?

A: Definitely wear sturdy shoes, as there are rocky parts, but it’s not too strenuous. I’d recommend breathable layers, since it can get a bit chilly near the lake. A light jacket and some comfy hiking pants worked great for me!

Q: What if the weather turns bad? Do they cancel the hike?

A: They are pretty flexible with rescheduling. If the weather looks really bad, they’ll reach out to you beforehand to discuss options. I had to reschedule once due to rain, and it was super easy.

Thinking of gifting the guided hike in the Rockies!

Hey everyone! I’m considering this guided hike in the Rockies as a birthday gift for my sister. She loves the outdoors, but isn’t super experienced. From what I read, it’s not difficult and has stunning views. I’m curious what anyone else's experience has been? Any tips or recommendations?

Anyone done the half-day hike from Denver?

I’m thinking about booking this half-day hike with Amazing Adventures next weekend. Sounds like it’s only a short drive, and the lake looks stunning. Can anyone share their experience? How’s the vibe with the group?
