Trip: Pikes Peak Summit Hike
With David E. on September 16, 2025
Company: Hike For Life
What a great hike! David was an amazing guide right from the start! We spoke several times before the hike to get me prepared (especially since I was coming for 268 feet above sea level). He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about our hike! You can tell that he loves what he does. I would highly recommend hike for life and David you won’t be disappointed!!!
