If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure in Aspen, look no further than Blazing Adventures and the incredible Nick as your tour guide! Our three-day tour was nothing short of spectacular, and Nick was the driving force behind it all.
On day one, we dove headfirst into the exhilarating world of white-water rafting on a Class 3 river. Nick’s enthusiasm and expertise made the experience thrilling and safe, ensuring we had a blast while navigating the rapids.
Day two took us on a breathtaking bike ride down the iconic Maroon Bells. The views were absolutely stunning, and Nick knew all the perfect spots to stop and soak it all in. His passion for the area truly shone through as he shared fascinating stories and insights about the landscape.
We capped off our adventure with a challenging yet rewarding 4-mile hike on day three. Nick not only guided us through the trail but also pointed out hidden gems along the way, making the journey all the more special.
What stood out most was Nick's genuine love for his job and the beautiful Aspen area. He spoke highly of the owner and the team at Blazing Adventures, which reflected the positive energy throughout our tour. We were so impressed that we’re already planning to return next year, and we’d gladly pay extra to ensure Nick is our guide again!
If you're considering a tour in Aspen, I can't recommend Blazing Adventures enough. They provide an amazing experience with guides who are not just knowledgeable but truly passionate about what they do. Thank you, Nick, for making our trip...
Read moreMy girlfriend and I did the Upper Roaring Fork Intermediate Rafting Adventure. One of our guides was awesome and the other one seemed very new. Somehow, maybe because of the seemingly inexperienced guide or perhaps just bad luck, we ended up stuck on a rock within two minutes of the trip. We were stuck on that rock for probably an hour and had to swim to shore in order to free the boat. Our female guide was a total rockstar though. I think I would trust her to take us on any type of adventure. Anyway, after we all got off the raft we were offered to continue but some of the group was understandably exhausted, cold, and frightened, so the trip ended. We got some snacks and got dropped off back at the Aspen office. I ended up getting a refund for the trip, which is excellent customer service, but I did have to ask for it. I think it would have been better if the main office had offered one up front. Overall, I have to say that this company seems to care about the satisfaction of their customers, and our female guide was awesome. I think we will give this company and rafting another shot the next time we...
Read moreWe had a trip booked to runs Browns Canyon with this outfit on August 1st. Trip was booked over a week in advance. Just days before the trip, someone called to inform me they were canceling/moving the trip because there was not enough water in Browns Canyon. I though that was odd because I had checked the water level earlier that morning and it was running a little over 800 CFS which is ideal for Browns Canyon. Blazing Adventures in now caught in a little white lie. I guess they assumed I knew nothing about rafting and water flows. I opted to cancel the trip and rebook with The Adventure Company (TAC) out of Buena Vista, Colorado. We ran Browns on August 1st with TAC and had an absolute blast. Water flow that day was a little under 800 CFS (very good flow for Browns). There were tons of other boats out there running that day. We even saved ~$100 by running with TAC. I would highly recommend TAC and avoid Blazing Adventures unless you don't mind your intelligence...
