Q&A

Q: What should I wear on the Mount Blue Sky trip? Is it really cold up there?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can be warm in Denver, but once you get to Mount Blue Sky, it gets really chilly, especially at 14,271 feet. I’d suggest a good windbreaker, a warm hat, and gloves too. Also, wear sturdy shoes since the terrain can be a bit rocky. Trust me, you don’t want to be caught in flip-flops up there!

Q: Is this trip good for kids? What age range do you think it’s suitable for?

A: This tour is pretty family-friendly! I took my 10-year-old, and he loved it. As long as your kids are up for some hiking and enjoy nature, they’ll have a blast. Just keep in mind the elevation can affect younger kids, so make sure they stay hydrated and take it slow if needed.

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather's bad? What’s the cancellation policy?

A: Yes, they have a flexible rescheduling policy if the weather’s not ideal. Just give them a call, and they’ll help you pick another date. I had to reschedule due to some snow last winter, and it was super easy. Just make sure to check their policy on the website for specific details.

Just booked the Mount Blue Sky tour! Any tips?

I’m so stoked! I just booked the Mount Blue Sky tour from Denver for next month. I heard the views are insane, and I can’t wait to see the bighorn sheep! Anyone have tips on what to bring or how to prepare? I really hope the weather cooperates!

Just did the Mount Blue Sky trip and wow!

I went on the Mount Blue Sky trip last weekend and it was incredible! The ride was smooth, the views from the top were breathtaking, and we saw a ton of wildlife. Definitely wear layers, because it gets cold. I recommend this for anyone looking for a unique experience outside Denver!
