This was my 2nd time taking this tour. Our tour guide, Pickett, was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend! We weren’t able to go to Alpine Visitor’s Center due to road closures/snow, but there was still plenty of breathtaking scenery.

Loved going 2 miles high into the Rocky Mountains. Our tour guide, Dan, was amazing, with a wealth of knowledge. We enjoyed this so much, would highly recommend this tour.
