10 Best Things To Do In Colorado 2026 | Top10Adventures®

Welcome to Colorado

Colorado is home to the highest peaks of the Southern Rocky Mountains, the great range that makes up America’s Continental Divide. Inhabited by humans for more than 13,000 years, Colorado still exerts a magnetic attraction to visitors who come to marvel at and play in classic western landscapes of mountains, forests, mesas, canyons, plateaus, rivers, and desert lands. The state is a mecca for winter sports like skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and more. Colorado is also known for the eclectic urban cultures found in the cities of Denver and Boulder as well as its Wild West mining ghost towns like Independence, St. Elmo, Tin Cup, and Carson.

July Denver visit

Well worth the time. So many hidden sites and knowledge of Denver I would not have otherwise seen or learned about. When visiting a new area, take a few hours and hear some history and see some hidden gems off the beaten path you might not otherwise see . Tour guide was great, small group. Kudos to the city of Denver developing its public parks to its residents. Great city .

The guides that we had were ALL wonderful and they helped make our adventure great! if you are thinking twice, DON'T, just book an adventure with them. You will NOT be disappointed.

Educational and Memorable

It was interesting to learn how the mountains formed. Our guide had good visuals and comparisons to help us understand the geologic processes, and he was also very knowledgeable about the plants and animals in the park. He knew the best spots for photos and even gave us samples of the rocks to take home!

Red Rocks Happy birthday tour 🎂

Christin was the most amazing, friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable guide. We learned so much on the drive out and back. I really appreciate the extra time and attention she spent on things like highway construction and restructured our day to avoid sitting in traffic. Top notch customer service! She made an effort to get know people. She seems so full of joy to share Colorado with people and help them love it as much as she does. We will definitely book again! Thanks for a great day!!!

fantasti tour company !!

Christen, with Colorado sightseer, was absolutely wonderful! Incredible knowledge and information shared in a fun, conversational way. She knew everyone's names, needs (if any) and a bit about them very early on, which made the day even more personal. Christen offered additional information on things to do and dinner suggestions for Denver. She also went above and beyond with helping with different individual needs, mine being many questions about a Red Rocks concert attendance! I would HIGHLY recommend this tour company, and will happily book future tours with Colorado Sightseer when we return to Denver!!

Must do in Colorado.

It was an overall amazing experience. Our river guide Adam was very experienced and made our rafting adventure fun and safe. He also shared stories and historical facts about the region. There was two spots were we could get of the raft and cool off a bit. The lady driver was also amazing and shared some of her knowledge with us. Highly recommend this adventure. I wish we had more time and did a longer one.

Kristina is an excellent guide with a lot of knowledge of red rocks and the amphitheater. She accommodated all questions and was very personable. She answered additional questions about the area.
