Our guide Will was awesome and navigated us through the tour with knowledge of Colorado. He did a round robin asking everyone what they wanted to see and he delivered. It was a long day and most caught a nap on the way back. Lunch in Estes Park had a few choices but we were blessed with a herd of Elk wandering the streets while we were there.

I was fortunate enough to get a ticket for the Rocky Mountain National Park tour. It was sunny in the morning and, in typical Rocky Mountain fashion, the weather turned in the afternoon--we had beautiful fluffy snowflakes to enjoy! Our guide was very knowledgeable and was quick to pint out the elk, mule deer, red-tailed hawks, and various tracks in the snow. He was kind enough to pull over (when there was a safe place to do so) so we could shoot photos as we came across wildlife. He did an excellent job of explaining the ecosystems, too. I would highly recommend this--and ask for Will as your guide :)

Will was an awesome tour guide and helped us enjoy our visit to the Rocky Mountain National Park. The van was comfortable and enabled us to see quite a bit of the park. The weather was beautiful and much wildlife was present. Will was very knowledgeable, and was able to share great information with us about the park, the wildlife and the general area.
