I'm so glad my friends and I booked a wildlife tour! Believe it or not, it is incredibly difficult to spot animals! Tyler, our wonderful guide, was able to spot a lot of animals that we would have missed without his sharp eyes and expertise. He also had a scope for animals that were deep in the mountain away from the roads. He was knowledgeable, personable, and fun. We saw moose, elk, black tailed deer, sand hill cranes, mallard ducks, blue heron, and a fox pretty close up. Sweet Tyler tried so hard to find us a bear, but they were just not around that day. We also enjoyed coffee and yummy blueberry muffins during the excursion.
Why not five stars? We had a snowshoeing excursion also booked with Eco Tours. They cancelled it, but when we went hiking to Taggart Lake, it was like a ski resort - full of deep snow. We would have been willing to pay the extra $20 to snowshoe within the park. Still, I highly recommend Eco Tours.
