FAQs - Day Hikes
Where do we meet?
Your guide will meet you at the trailhead. If you need a shuttle, we can arrange a third-party shuttle service for an additional fee. After booking your trip online, your guide will email and/or call you to provide you with the trailhead address and meeting details.
What should I bring on a Day Hike?
You'll need to wear appropriate shoes for hiking (sneakers, trail runners, or hiking boots) and bring a day pack if you have one. If you need a day pack, we can provide them on request. It's important to remember that the trails here are at high altitude (with many of the trails being above 5,000 feet in Golden and Boulder and well above 8,000 feet in Rocky Mountain National Park). You also must pack any personal medications that you might need on the trail, such as an inhaler or epi-pen.
Can I bring my pet?
Please notify your guide ahead of time if you would like to bring your pet. Some trails allow dogs while others do not.
Do I tip my guide?
If your guide does an exceptional job, please show your appreciation with a tip. While our team of well-trained professional guides never expects a tip, it is always appreciated. Industry-standard gratuity for a guided hiking trip is 15 to 20% of the trip cost.
What if it's raining?
