This trip to RMNP was AMAZING! It was mid October and the snow started to fall just as we made it to Estes Park. Will, our guide was great! We entered the town of Estes and he immediately spotted an elk. He pulled over into a parking lot so we could get pictures from a safe distance. His knowledge of flora and fauna was astounding! His information was informative, interesting and fun. We had some issues in the park with road closures but that didn’t faze Will one bit. He detoured and found other hidden gems for us to see. The Stanley Hotel was decorated for Halloween so it was eerily fun! Estes and RMNP are both must sees if going to the Denver / Boulder area. Seeing the area with Colorado Sightseer is the way to go!

This was a full day tour to Rocky Mountain national Park. Due to a half marathon and marathon in Denver, it was difficult to pick up all the people who are signed up but they manage to get us all despite all the obstacles. Our guide was Will and he was so informative and very amusing. Weather was very changeable and as we as ascended the park it began to snow heavily. We had a great time throwing snowballs in building a snowman although it was super cool. We saw an elk and lots of mule deer. One road was closed where we were supposed to go so Will was great about taking us to another location. When the road reopened we went up to the original location which was a glacial Lake. We had lunch in the town of Estes Park and then he ended our tour at the Stanley Hotel. It was a fabulous day and Will was a great tour guide. He took really good care of us and was super knowledgeable, sharing with us lots of information and good tips for future trips.

Hello again Terrie, That was one crazy morning pickup. I am still angry at the race or city officials for posting incorrect road closures. All part of the adventure that morning, haha thankfully that is not the norm! Glad it was a wonderful experience in the park and a fun beautiful tour. Thanks again for touring with us and hopefully we will see you again when you are back in Colorado

Scott did a great job as our tour guide. Very flexible. Made sure people saw the right stuff and altered the tour to add a stop along a road that is usually closed. We want to do it again in the summer season when all roads are open.
