I booked this trip not knowing to much about what to do. I am a dress wearing prissy kind of person. My version of camping is a 4 star hotel.... with that said this was a little out of my normal. I 100% loved this! Wayne was our guide. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. The views from any seat were spectacular! I still did wear my sweater dress and stayed so toasty warm. At one point we asked for the heat to be turned off. Our daughter is a grad student at CSU and is studying horticulture so Wayne went into amazing details about plant and tree life. We enjoyed all the stops and the sledding. This is worth every penny!! Don't forget sunblock no matter what time of year!! Stop reading and just hit book now.

When I first was invited to come on this tour, the amount of time had me worried. I was sure that we’d have way too much time to spare. However I could not have been more wrong. Time flew by so quickly and there were so many things to see! Truck man was a great guide. He was really knowledgeable about the area and you could tell he was passionate about his job. I honestly wish I had more time to explore and ask questions !
