Red Rocks Nature Hike & Hot Springs Adventure

About Red Rocks Nature Hike & Hot Springs Adventure

Experience the best of Colorado in a single unforgettable day. We’ll meet in front of Flatirons Coffee (in Boulder) or Hopdoddy Burger Bar (near Union Station in Denver), where we’ll load the vehicle and head out towards the mountains. We’ll begin with a guided nature hike through the world-famous Red Rocks Park, where towering red sandstone formations frame sweeping views of the Front Range. Along the trail, learn about local wildlife, geology, and the natural history that makes this area one of the state’s true treasures. From there, enjoy a scenic mountain drive into the high country as we make our way to a quiet subalpine lake—the perfect setting for a peaceful, freshly prepared picnic lunch surrounded by pines, rugged peaks, and crisp alpine air. After lunch, we’ll continue to the historic mining town of Idaho Springs for a rejuvenating 2-hour soak at Indian Hot Springs, one of Colorado’s most iconic thermal pools. Whether you choose to relax in the warm mineral waters, float beneath tropical greenery in the geothermal dome, or simply unwind after a day outdoors, this is the ideal way to end your adventure. You will be dropped off around 4 pm in front of the same location you were picked up at in the morning. This full-day experience blends nature, scenery, local history, and deep relaxation—crafted for travelers who want a rich, authentic taste of Colorado’s outdoors.
