Highly educated tour guide, Mel provided a wonderful tour (ask about wolves you won’t be disappointed). Comfortable van ride to and from the park. Hiking trail to Cub Lake was almost 5 miles round trip and with beautiful views. Wasn’t left bored or wishing for more scenery or wildlife because it had it all!

Hi Sharon F— A hike to Cub Lake is unforgettable. We're glad you enjoyed your time with Mel! (You should also ask her about bears.) Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! —Brendon

Robin was my tour guide for this all-day experience. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and very passionate about her job. Throughout the trip, she took the time to get to know each and every one of us, included everyone in conversations, she would check up on each of us during the hike, and would keep us all engaged with trivia based on the Denver/Colorado knowledge and history she imparted on us. The tour itself was breathtaking. The Fall colors in the Rocky Mountains were inspiring and we saw plenty of elks in the area (happened to be Elk Fest that weekend). Even caught a glimpse of the Stanley Hotel on the drive to Rocky Mountain National Park. Robin took us to some amazing spots for some outstanding photos and was happy to assist in taking pictures (very helpful when you're traveling alone). The hike to Cub Lake was fun while also being challenging enough to feel accomplished once we reached the top for the picnic (this coming from someone who is not very active physically). Robin was very attentive of the group and constantly made sure we had all the supplies we needed to pull through. Amazing sights, beautiful Fall colors near the end of September, even patches of snow could be seen at Longs Peak. Add an amazing tour guide to the mix, and you got yourself the recipe for an unforgettable hiking tour. Would highly recommend this tour and would highly recommend Robin as your tour guide. Thanks for the experience and the memories :)

Hi Carlos A— Thank you so much for your recommendation and great review! Sounds like you had yourself a perfect day in the mountains! There's nothing quite like the Rockies in the fall. And the elk are always a treat to see! Hopefully you got plenty of great photos to remember it! Thanks for letting Robyn take you on a hike in RMNP! We hope to see you again next time you're in the area. —Brendon

Having seen Rocky Mountain National park from the bus, I was looking forward to exploring it by foot. Unparalleled experience.The views are simply stunning, the nature at its best. Robyn was charismatic and extremely knowledgeable about the park and the Denver area in general. The ride to the park was smooth and the hike was just challenging enough to be satisfied with the experience, approximately 3 hrs long. Loved it!
