    Two hours on foot — explore the Boulder Flatirons with a knowledgeable local guide, incorporating storytelling about the landscape, flora, and history.

    As a female traveler from a flat area, I signed up for this hike without any expectations. Although I prepared for the altitude, I was surprised to find I was the only person on the tour that day. I met with Preston, shared my recent hiking experiences, and he agreed to take me on a challenging route. We tackled a rock scramble that gained 3,000 feet over 2.5 miles, which was both tough and enjoyable. Preston's deep knowledge of the area and engaging conversation made me feel at ease throughout the hike. He shared fascinating stories from his travels and guiding experiences, proving to be a wonderful person overall. I would absolutely hike with Preston again; he really goes the extra mile to ensure you have a fantastic experience.samanthakeenan89
