This past week we had the pleasure of accompanying Scott on the Rocky Mountain National Park Tour. He took us on great adventures while managing to drive the van in near white out conditions. We saw prairie dogs, a moose and numerous elk. Scott's knowledge of the area was so helpful in giving us a greater understanding of the park and surrounding. He gave great suggestions for restaurants and other places to visit.

What an adventure the weather in Colorado is forever changing and winter this year didn't want to leave us even in May! The good side of cold weather is seeing more wildlife and it sounds like you did. Thanks for touring with us and for leaving a review.

We chose this tour to see the Rockies without hubby having to do the driving. It picked us up in front of Union Station in Denver. The guide was very informative, and he brought us to great outlooks. Very knowledgeable about the wildlife & we did see several things: moose, elk, turkey. Highly recommend. Cost is well worth it. Tour ended in Estes Park where we had a great lunch & then he drove us back to Denver.
