Hidee Gold Mine Tours and Panning
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Great place for a family fun. 😃👍 Nice staff, tourist and family friendly tour overall. Educational and fun for kids and adults. My personal opinion - it’s a bit overpriced(we got deluxe package +panning lesson for 5 people) and the actual mining was too shot(a few minutes per person), but we were...

👍👍 We booked a 4 hour ride to celebrate our anniversary. From the minute we got there, till we left it was perfect.

👍👍 Beautiful hike and it do get steep at some points! You will have to climb a small rock face if you want to get to the view here at the First Flatiron.

👍👍 Absolutely amazing. Everyone is so nice and I would come back again! The guides are EMT qualified, very knowledgeable, and hilarious! My guide knew I wanted a bit of extra fun on mine so he threw in some amazing surprises! But also was really careful about it! Thanks! 100/10 experience!

Sprague Lake
Hiking area
👍👍 Sprague Lake is a beautiful and less crowded alternative to Bear Lake in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Make sure you park and enjoy a walk/hike around the lake. Maybe you'll see a moose like we did! We also saw magpies and other local birds. Prepare to enjoy the scent of fresh pines. If only boo...

👍👍 Absolutely beautiful hike! My first time on this trail and a few notes: The drive to the parking lot is a little sketchy, with it being gravel and narrow, so watch out for oncoming traffic. Parking lot was full when we got there around noon, but managed to find a spot. Nice clean bathrooms at the st...
