My husband and I had a great experience on this tour. At first we were concerned about setting aside a whole day, but the experience was well worth the time and money!
Our tour guide’s name is as Gentry and she was amazing! Having a good host can make or break an experience and she ensured this was a great one. Even though she’s technically a transplant here in CO, you can tell she loves the area and is well versed in all things Colorado! Her explanations of geological, wildlife, and historical concepts gave a multifaceted narration to accompany the gorgeous views! We did get to see some wildlife including two large Elk, some Marmats, mule deer, and a bald eagle!
There were many stops to enjoy the scenery! Our favorite is as the Alpine ridge trail and visitor center. This short hike is optional, but my husband and I were looking for the challenge! The trail gains more than 200 feet in 3/10 of a mile, but is located at 12,000 feet so it truly had us huffing on “huffers trail”…. Haha!
There were plenty of pit stops for bathroom breaks (I am a water fanatic so I think I am a good judge of this criteria) and the tour guides bring a large water container to refill your bottles - bring them, sunblock, and a jacket of some kind because the top of the mountains are WINDY!
Do this trip, you won’t regret it!!
