Pick Your Hike
"We spent a fantastic day hiking Lost Man Loop with Blazing Adventures. Our guide was delightful, a great guide, very engaging and his geology knowledge (he studied it at university) made the landscape come alive. I highly recommend a day out with Blazing Adventures."

"Our guide took us on a fun and fact filled hike to the Maroon Bells. She was nothing short of gracious and helped us pose for awesome vacation photos. We learned how the mountains and lakes were formed as well as about the local flora and fauna. She even made sure we spotted the young bull moose hiding in the woods across the river. Highly recommend."

"We did a guided hike up to crater lake / maroon bells. While we could have easily done this alone, the guide added a lot of local knowledge about the geology and wildlife. All in all I highly recommend Blazing Adventures."
Michael S
