Lots of other people also didn't seem to care or be aware of other people's presence. The general demographic here was definitely not my scene. Though middle aged to older population seemed kind and genuine. Drink prices are to be expected but food trucks are a little overpriced. Recommend finding food and a spot to sit earlier in the evening--lines for food are crazy near and after sunset. Expect to stand in line for 15+ minutes. Concert opener and headliners were pretty good considering technical difficulties. Employees were stationed at all trash receptors to ensure trash, food and recycling were allocated into the correct bins--that was neat to see! I hadn't ever experienced that.

He took our family pictures throughout the day to help save the memories. He drove us to our 3 hour train ride, captured pictures of us on the train, and then took us to the hot springs. The train ride is beautiful and relaxing. He then drive us to Vail for the evening to enjoy dinner and shopping before taking us back to our hotel. He made a special gift for everyone in our group and was delightful to visit with. You can tell how much he loves what he does and wants to make sure that you have a special trip.

After the train ride he gave us a tour of Georgetown and also took us up to the highest point of the highest mountain. The views are amazing and the end of the trip he gifted us with pennies to wish on and I guarantee you we'll be reporting back when our wishes comes true. I'd 100/10 recommend this experience. I'd recommend also booking in the afternoon we were able to ride and see during the day and also all through sunset into the evening which was very very pretty.

When we got to the top, Reese gave us all the opportunity to take photos and he was also our own personal photographer.

Definitely tough on the joints. Much of the hike was in the dark to begin, so it felt like it took forever to get back since nothing looked familiar. It's a beautiful mountain with no technical skills required despite the elevation and length. I thought the scramble was great fun-harder class 2 but still easy with little exposure. Going through half moon pass is beautiful and offers stunning views of the mountain, but I definitely had an "oh sh*t" moment when I saw how far away it was. I brought my friend with me who did this as her first 14er which is pretty bad ass! I think if you choose this as your first, you could easily do all of the class 1 and 2s without a problem. There is one river crossing and so many pretty flowers when I went. A great challenging hike with beautiful scenery! I'd recommend camping at half moon campground the night before so it's easy to get an early start.
