Hiking and Camping in Colorado – 2 day trip

Denver
Durations- 2 days (approx.)
Languages- English
Address- Union Station, Denver, CO 80202, USA

Its expensive to spend a night in Denver so why not enjoy some time in the Rockies hiking and camping? We will pick the hikes and camping locations based on what the group is interested in, the time of year and day of the week. We will try to chose a nice area that isn't too heavily trafficked. We usually chose to go to some lakes that are super pretty or have some other nice views. We have bear spray and we will have the food secure to ensure everyone is safe. We have all the camping gear you will need. The bbq or dinner will be a blast as well. Where we camp and hike depends on the time of year. We can go to higher elevations in the summer but in fall and spring its too cold so we go to a lower elevation. On the weekends its very busy so we usually go to a paid camping site to make sure we have a spot.

  • Choose a morning, afternoon or sunset adventure
  • See more than you would otherwise aboard a 4×4 UTV
  • Discover the top scenic highlights of Hell’s Revenge in one tour
  • Admire dramatic canyons, fossilized dinosaur tracks, and more
