We got lucky having Cowboy Frank as our tour guide! The tour started off promptly at 8:15 AM and the meeting spot was super easy to find. The van was surprisingly comfortable too! Frank was super knowledgeable about all things Colorado, and taught us a lot about the history of the Rocky Mountains and the nearby town. He was also super open to making stops because we saw some wildlife like elk roaming around and really wanted to take pictures. You could tell that Frank is genuine and truly loves his job, he learned about each of us and remembered little tidbits throughout the whole tour. You’re awesome Frank, thanks for being our tour guide through the Rockies!
