Dinosaur Ridge Tours and Tickets

First-time visitors to Denver appreciate this opportunity to escape the city for a few hours to see key attractions in the foothills. Let a professional do the driving on mountain byways, while you sit back and take in the sights. Sample from local breweries or shop in Golden's historic downtown; enjoy great views from the top of Lookout Mountain; spot buffalo as they graze along the highway. Snacks and bottled water are included on this small-group tour.

If you have just one day in Denver to explore the Rocky Mountains, make the most of it with a combo tour that takes you through the ancient geology of Dinosaur Ridge and Red Rocks Park to the fascinating boom town history of a real gold mine and mining town. There’s plenty of action along the way, including gold panning in a river and a guided hike up Saint Mary's Glacier, following a trail that locals know offers the very best views.

Explore a landscape of stunning ancient rock formations, cowboy history, alpine lakes and magnificent vistas on a private, half-day tour into the Rocky Mountain foothills from Denver. Tour one of the world’s greatest natural concert venues at Red Rocks Amphitheater, and pay tribute to Wild West showman Buffalo Bill Cody at his gravesite atop Lookout Mountain. Stroll around serene Evergreen Lake and enjoy a coffee or beer in the charming mountain town of Evergreen. Return to Denver via the winding, picturesque Bear Creek Canyon.
