Woke up early the next day, got to the spot 15 minutes early, sent a text, called... waited 40 minutes called again.. waited 5 minutes called again, spoke with neighbors around where we were supposed to Leave out from to no avail. Extremely disappointed. Been to Colorado multiple times on multiple rides with personal animals.. first time every paying for an outfitter and was sorely disappointed... do better Mr. Travis. Sharing in hopes he doesn't do it to someone else whos looked forward to something like this all week after driving 20 hours. Currently on the phone with bank getting debit card deactivated trying to recoupe some funds from it. Been to horse camps all over the south/west and never encountered this. May your pillow be warm on both sides Mr. Travis. With all my love, Joseph Russell.

Whether it is through the Colorado mountainside like us or the Texas hill country Travis is your man. He did two rides for us. First with my 7 yr old girl and wife. Then a second ride with 5 of us family members. He is engaging, interesting, knowledgeable about his surroundings, and willing to teach the art of horseback riding. Her prefers texts to book and will meet you to guide you to the trailheads. He did a couple 2 hour rides for us but I know he does 2/4/8 hr rides upon request. I give this review a 5 star but it was a 4 star experience. Only because the Troublesome Fire of 2020 burnt up a lot of Aspen trees along the train and it is slow to come back. Not on Travis just not as beautiful as other parts of CO.

E.g. one specifically liked playing in water, one really liked the cow's molasses in buckets nearby, some had a little bit more sass than the others, etc. The little tidbits that she gave for each horse was a clear indication that the staff & owners cared for and loved these horses - this is enough for any animal lover to want to support this business. It also made it easier to connect with and understand our horses to make the experience more enjoyable. HCT was otherwise fairly priced & reasonably understanding if customers are running late. The trails were beautiful and unique. The dogs running along with us were entertaining. I couldn't have asked for a better time! Note: They have a little outhouse on the side, but unless you're ok with those, be sure to use the bathroom before!

Beacon Marina is the real deal. We rented a mooring slip for the summer and I honestly can't say…read moreenough good things about Flynt, Jeremy, and the entire crew. Every single time we showed up to put the boat out or bring it back in, these guys were there. The boat was always waiting for us, they were always happy to answer questions, and they somehow made everything ridiculously easy. We basically showed up, enjoyed the boat, and let these guys do their thing. That's exactly how it should be. And the customer service... WOW. It seems like good customer service is becoming a lost art these days, so when you come across people who actually care about taking care of their customers, it definitely deserves some recognition. Flynt and Jeremy are awesome guys and their whole team was great to deal with all summer. I'd highly recommend Beacon Marina whether you're looking to rent a boat for the day or you're looking for a mooring slip for the season. You'll be taken care of here. Five stars without hesitation. We had a great summer and will absolutely be back!

My family booked this horseback riding tour expecting a safe and fun experience. While on the trail…read moreour guide pointed out a moose and encouraged us to take a picture. As we were trying to do that, the horses suddenly became startled and took off. Because we had been focused on taking the photo, our hands were no longer fully on the reins, and no one was prepared for the horses to start running. Within seconds everyone fell off even though we tried to pull back the horses still didn't stop! My sister suffered many injuries, including 3 broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and a broken ulna and scapula . It was heartbreaking to witness my sister in such pain. After the accident, we were told that emergency help would take about two hours to reach us in the woods. We were given two options, either stay sitting on the ground in the woods and wait for help to arrive, or have everyone walk back to the stables to get emergency assistance sooner. My family waited approximately 46 minutes before deciding to walk since my sister was in critical condition and couldn't breathe, despite having broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and a broken arm, had to walk about half a mile. Then took another 10 minutes for ambulance to arrive, even though an ER was only 10 mins away. We have location history documenting the amount of time we spent waiting and walking after the accident. The following day, I called the company to request a refund for the excursion since my sister had to pay for her medical bills. No one asked how my sister or the rest of my family were doing or expressed any concern for their well being. That lack of compassion was incredibly disappointing. Accidents can happen, but how a company responds during an emergency says everything. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this company. I hope they improve their safety practices, emergency response procedures, and the way they treat guests after a serious incident so that no other family has to experience what ours did.

My brother who lives in Denver, insisted it would be busy and he read all of the bad reviews. I suppose if you are a fishing snob, you shouldn't go here because the rods are cheap but this isn't the point of the trout farm. It was gorgeous. The buildings look Bavarian and nice. There was enough room around the pond to find your own personal space. The staff was totally willing to help and even ran out to help when we caught fish. The pond was full of foot long trout and it was easy and exciting to catch them. It was super fun! The pricing for the fish I feel is reasonable for the experience. You are going to spend $50 at the movies. This is way more fun and you get cleaned fish to take home and eat! Awesome experience and it wasn't busy at all!

FABULOUS!!!!!!…read more Sydney is the owner so you'll be supporting a small, female owned business (in case that's important to you). She has 3 horses so this is an extremely personal / intimate experience. The minimum ride is 3 hours, we chose a 4 hour ride and brought a lunch. She helps you from start to finish if you're an inexperienced rider, if you're experienced you'll also thoroughly enjoy the ride. You assist her with grooming, saddling, cooling the horses after the ride, everything. This is an option that I highly encourage as it allows you time to bond with your horse. The horses (Duke, Missy "Baby Horse") are VERY well cared for, loved, and are so responsive to Sydney. Whether you are an experienced or inexperienced rider you will love this ride. You will ALWAYS feel safe, especially since there's just 3 of you. I highly recommend Alpine Stables and Sydney for your Rocky Mountain ride. The views are spectacular!
