Trip: Pikes Peak Summit Hike
Guide: David E.
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!!!

My hike guide Mike was great from start to finish; even recommended hikes for me to do on the days leading up to our hike to ensure that I was prepared. Best experience and I finally got my first 14’er!!

Trip: The Crags Hike
Guide: Melody M.
A wonderful first hike at altitude and with significant elevation gain, for a bunch of flat landers from the Midwest. We were well prepared from the pre-hike information from Melody in the weeks leading up to the hike. That info made the hike very enjoyable. And the guides (there were a couple extras with us) shared their expertise and experiences with us. I highly recommend Hike For Life as guides; especially for those people who are beginners to mountain hiking and unsure how to begin. I will probably use them on my next adventure in Colorado.

Trip: Garden of the Gods Immersion Hike
Guide: Melody M.
The hike met our high :) expectations with flying colors! Melody showed us the heart of the park and told us interesting stories about the history and geography of the place. On top of it, we did our daily dose of hiking and got a boatload of great pictures. We highly recommend Hike for Life and Melody Monberg as a guide!

This was a great day! Mike was so great to be around! Very encouraging and patient. I really appreciate the company doing due diligence to be sure that I was capable of the hike that I’d requested. I’m ready to go back!
