10/10 would recommend - Jeremy is awesome. When we chose to do this hike there was an avalanche warning for the original trail, but Jeremy took us instead to an equally as nice hike up to Lost Lake. He’s very knowledgeable about the area, and very friendly. Had a blast talking to him about the Denver area as well as all his travels around the world. Would definitely recommend this trip.
