Rocky Mountain National Park Guided Small Group Tour + Lunch

About this activity

Explore towering alpine peaks, high-elevation tundra, abundant wildlife, and Colorado’s most celebrated national park—all in one expertly guided day. Begin in Boulder, framed by the iconic Flatirons, before traveling through the foothills to Estes Park, the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. Enjoy a stop at the historic Stanley Hotel before continuing into the park, where alpine forests and lakes, summer wildflowers, golden aspens in fall, and abundant wildlife create an ever-changing landscape. Watch for elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, moose, marmots, and other native species along the way. Your professional guide brings the scenery to life with engaging stories about the park’s history, geology, flora, and fauna. From scenic overlooks and alpine valleys to the heights of Trail Ridge Road, (in the winter, sections of road are closed, and we make alternative stops) experience sweeping Continental Divide views and dramatic alpine scenery before returning through the foothills.
