Colorado Sightseer · 1701 Wynkoop St, Denver
A small-group day from Denver: Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater, up Clear Creek County to Loveland Pass on the Continental Divide, Sapphire Point above Dillon Reservoir and 2 hours of free time in Breckenridge. Pick it for the high country and an old mining town in one day, with someone else on the mountain roads.
You meet at 1701 Wynkoop St, Denver Union Station's address, and the first stop is close: about 35 minutes at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater. Then the van heads west up Clear Creek County and over Loveland Pass, nearly 12,000 feet up on the Continental Divide per the listing, with a 20-minute photo stop at the top. Sapphire Point Overlook comes next, a short walk to views over three mountain ranges and Dillon Reservoir. Breckenridge gets about 2 hours: Main Street, lunch on your own, a look in the shops, or the gondola to the base of the ski area. The way home runs through the Eisenhower Tunnel. One driver-guide, a group of up to 12, 8 hours in all.
On the rails: no train on this one. The drive west follows the same Clear Creek valley as the Georgetown Loop Railroad, the narrow-gauge line between Georgetown and Silver Plume, but this tour stays on the road. For that ride, book the private Georgetown Loop day, or try the Royal Gorge Route for 110 minutes on the rails.
Included, per the listing: a professional driver and guide, the transport and water refills. Lunch and tips are not included. The listing says it is not a hiking tour, though it has several stops with short walks, and that the Rockies are much colder than Denver. Bring a warm layer even in July. Loveland Pass is the cold one.
Meet in central Denver. Check the times for your date on the booking page.
