Q&A

Q: Is there a weight limit for the picnic lunch? I'm planning to bring my kids.

A: There's no strict weight limit for the picnic lunch itself, but they provide a turkey or veggie sandwich per person along with some water. Just make sure to let them know about any dietary restrictions when booking. Kids usually love the sandwiches, and it’s a nice break during the tour!

Q: What's the best time of year to go? Is it crowded in the summer?

A: Late spring to early fall is ideal for this tour since the summit parking can be inaccessible until June. Summer can get busy, especially on weekends, but the views are worth it! If you can, try to go on a weekday for fewer crowds. Just check the weather since it can change quickly in the mountains!

Q: What should I wear for the Mt. Blue Sky tour? Is it chilly up there?

A: Layers are key! It can be warm in Denver, but up at Summit Lake it gets chilly, especially if the wind picks up. Bring a light jacket and wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes for walking around. Don’t forget your sunscreen and a hat to protect against sunburn at that altitude!

Thinking of gifting the Mt. Blue Sky tour! Any tips?

I’m considering this Mount Blue Sky Alpine Summit & Red Rocks Tour as a gift for my sister’s birthday. The idea of a picnic lunch at Echo Lake sounds awesome, and I love that it’s a small group tour. Does anyone know if it’s suitable for someone who's not super fit? I want her to enjoy it without feeling overwhelmed.

Just did the Red Rocks & Mt. Blue Sky Tour—amazing experience!

I went on the Mount Blue Sky tour last weekend and wow, it was incredible! The views at Red Rocks were stunning and the drive up to Summit Lake was breathtaking. Just be ready for some altitude; I felt it a bit at 12,840 feet! The picnic lunch was nice, and I highly recommend bringing your camera!
