Three friends meeting in Boulder from East Coast, Chicago and West Coast. All agree it was one of the best trips any of us have been on. New, safe van and excellent driver. Will was very knowledgeable about wildlife, the terrain, weather, and could answer any question you threw at him. Learned so much, without feeling I was being taught! Beautiful scenery, saw herd of elk, big-horn sheep, deer, tiny marmot. Still pondering the satin-like covered antlers rubbing away the white bark on tree trunks turning them black the bottom three feet. Thanks, Will!

Go see these wonders if you can. From mountains to little valleys, pine-ringed lakes to sunny paths, the terrain inspires. Kevin from Aspire Tours took a group of ten of us -- singles, couples, and a family -- around the park mid-July 2019. The weather was hot but not oppressive, with a blustery, brief shower cooling things off around 3 p.m, so I was glad for both a sun-hat and rain-gear in our backpack. I wish I had known to bring a few extra snacks -- though a tasty lunch was provided -- and that the drive took a good hour and a half from Denver -- but the tour overall was fabulous and the scenery unforgettable. I felt thankful for plenty of film. The park never appeared crowded. Stone guard rails and other well-constructed elements make the heights and vistas user-friendly. We smelled the Ponderosa Pine's bark -- a sweet scent -- and learned that these mountain peaks originally stood at 28 thousand feet above sea-level with towering trees at their tops. Park Rangers turned up at a couple locations to help answer questions and welcome visitors. We even spotted a bit of wildlife -- a towering black bear and an inquisitive chipmunk. This national park, like others we have been privileged to visit, represents a heritage that needs to be experienced to be appreciated. At every turn something new engages the imagination and delights the eye. It is a visit not to be missed.

Our group took an eight day tour across the mid-west and this was by far the best day we had. The tour guide did an outstanding job and was so informative of the area. Sights that we got to see were great, from Breckenridge, Georgetown to the Continental Divide and we were amazed. I even ask about an iconic picture of I-70 heading west that I had seen in numerous places and she knew the exact spot and stopped and let us get our own picture. Can not say enough good things about our tour!! Book it, you will be glad you did!
