FAQs - Day Hikes
What should I bring on a Day Hike?
You'll need to bring water, appropriate shoes, and a day pack. Please wear shoes for the trail that are comfortable, which can include running shoes, sneakers, or hiking boots. It's important to remember that the trails here are at high altitude (with many of the trails being around 5,000 feet to 7,000 feet in Golden and well-above 8,000 feet in Rocky Mountain National Park). For water, please bring a minimum of two liters per person for half-day hikes and three liters per person for full-day hikes. We provide snacks, so please let us know if you have any dietary preferences or restrictions. You also must pack any personal medications that you might need on the trail, such as an inhaler or epi-pen.
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.
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 15-20% of the trip cost.
What if it's raining?
Rocky Mountain Hiking Company hikes and backpacks in all types of weather. If we decide the conditions are not safe, we will cancel the trip and give you the choice of a full refund or a new trip.
