I highly recommend them. My guide Andy was phenomenal. I am 68 years old and have climbed 12-13 fourteens, but nothing like Longs Peak. He got me to the summit with encouragement and technical tips. This was his 109th summit and counting. This was my first and last. Again, thank you so much. Tom

Great place to rent gear so that you can pack light for your trips into RMNP. We rented a child carrier pack for 2 days (more like 1.5) and they gave us a 1 day price discount. Great customer service!

I just had the most amazing time hiking with Kirk's! My guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. He taught me about the Rocky Mountains' plants, animals, and history. The hike wasn't crowded, and we saw some breathtaking views. It's a shame we didn't spot any animals, but being out in nature helped me relax and de-stress. Thank you so much!

Our guide John was so kind, friendly, and good company. This experience is very much whatever you want it to be. Your guide will ask you how you want the hike to look and they’ve got so much knowledge of the area that you don’t have to worry about a thing. We even said we want to avoid people and he took us on our own path. I said I wanted the most bang for my buck to see the park in a sweeping way and that’s definitely what he gave us. We got to see three different lakes and even see two of them from an aerial view. I’m SO glad I did this since it’s the snowier time and I have no clue what I’m doing on snowy mountains. We got shoe spikes to borrow, a snack or two, water, and John even offered to carry a jacket I wasn’t using in his backpack for me. The process was seamless and we had a truly BEAUTIFUL day! Would absolutely go on another adventure with this company.
