Stefanie was our tour guide and was phenomenal! We saw a record breaking and abnormal amount of wildlife on our 10 hour trip-including elk right next to the tour vehicle. Life changing voyage especially for my first time in Colorado and the Rockies. Best time of year to go is Indigenous people's weekend!

Our tour guide Stephanie was excellent. One of the good experiences I witnessed through this trip. Thank You!! Wildlife (Elk, Moose, Mule Deer, unique birds), Aspen trees and the 12,000 feet summit was the highlight.

Kristina shared a wealth of knowledge at each stop. We saw elk, big horn sheep, turkey and deer. The van was very well kept and comfortable. A very long full day and worth it. Cheers!
