Full description

Immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park on this all-encompassing guided tour. Starting above the treetops and ascending over two miles above sea level, you’ll explore the park’s diverse landscapes, from cascading waterfalls fed by melting snow to breathtaking glaciers. Take short hikes to experience these natural wonders up close, while your expert guide shares fascinating insights into the park’s history, geology, and wildlife. From July to early October, travel up the historic Old Fall River Road—an engineering marvel opened in 1920 that now stands as a testament to early park infrastructure. Pause at the Alpine Visitor Center, the highest-altitude visitor center in any U.S. national park, for a mid-tour break and panoramic tundra views. Continue along Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous paved road in North America, to its peak at 12,183 feet, where you’ll be surrounded by awe-inspiring vistas and chilly alpine winds.

This comprehensive tour covers much of Rocky’s eastern side, excluding the Bear Lake Corridor, and includes complimentary hot drinks, snacks, and refreshments to keep you energized and comfortable throughout your adventure.
