Traveler reviews
Mt. Blue Sky and Glacial Lakes
The tour was phenomenal and the views from the summit at Mt. Blue Sky and of the Glacial Lakes were spectacular. We would recommend this tour to everyone. We saw many mountain goats at the summit and marmots along the drive. Our tour guide, Will, was fantastic. He was informative, very interesting and hilariously funny. We would not have been able to see all that we saw and experienced and learned on our own. We will definitely use Viator in the future when we visit Colorado again.
Great day out and lots of goats!
We met our Guide Emily at the flagpole at union Station. FYI the flagpole is very tall and we actually missed it. However there wasa group of people gathering and it was pretty clear they were meeting for various tours. The mini bus was comfortable with excellent air-conditioning, which is important in August. When you arrive at the peak, the temperature has dropped significantly and those a very enjoyable cool breeze. we enjoyed spreading our legs oh that should’ve been stretching our legs at the first stop (upper Goliath). It is possible to drive this yourself, but the road has switch back turns and shear drops so you wouldn’t catch me driving it. Emily however, was fully trained for driving this type of route. We saw marmot and lots of goats including kids. We made a stop at a lake and there were several flowering plants in the tundra, including this gentian The tour finished in Idaho Springs where we got lunch prior to returning to Denver.
