Don’t hesitate! - Where do I start? Pre-tour communication, transportation, bathroom breaks, and lunch were all very well coordinated. I joined a great group of people, had an amazing guide, and despite the rain in Denver and Boulder, the weather cleared right as we entered Estes Park. Jerry took us to the Cub Lake Trail, which was a moderate ~5 mile hike, where we saw a ton of elk, a couple marmots, and not one, but two moose!! He was so kind, patient, and knowledgable; you could really see and hear his passion for the outdoors. Our group was pretty diverse geography-wise and shared lots of stories and laughs. There are some factors that go into choosing a trail, like weather, comfort level with altitude, hiking with little humans, etc., so Cub Lake isn’t guaranteed, but I’m sure whatever trail you end up on, your experience will be as wonderful as mine. Thank you, Jerry, K, & A for making this trip so memorable 😊

Great views and a great guide! - Aaron was our tour guide and he was amazing in taking us through the hike. His knowledge of the local flora, fauna and the geology of the Rockies made for a very interesting experience. We were able to add additional views to the trip given a smaller group and it was an amazing day. We got to see Elk, Big horn sheep, Moose and mule deer all on the same day.

best hike ever - What a fantastic experience! Although the trip didn’t seem very promising at first—the guide originally assigned to us didn’t show up at the scheduled time (we later found out he had an accident; I truly hope it wasn’t anything serious)—the operator handled the situation very professionally. They arranged a replacement within an hour, and I honestly believe things couldn’t have turned out better. Aaron, our guide, was simply outstanding. He is a remarkable person with incredible cultural knowledge, deep expertise, and exceptional interpersonal skills. His passion and professionalism made the entire experience unforgettable. Thanks to him, the trip became one of the highlights of our journey. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an enriching and enjoyable adventure!

Aaron was an amazing guide to Rocky Mountain! - Aaron was extraordinary! So full of great info and positive energy…was awesome with our kids also. He was ready to help with any questions we had and offered great recommendations. There was a little mishap at the start of the day because our original guide got into a car accident so we left a bit later than expected, but the company was in contact and Aaron really made up for our lost time. Hope our original guide is ok! Aaron took great care of us. We went on the Gem lake hike at Rocky Mountain and it didn’t disappoint. Thank you Aaron!

Awesome Group Hike with Seemingly Repeatable Variety - Great hike with guide Kasey who is well prepared, well organized, and well spoken. She gave our group 2 options for the route and we picked the longer path that took us to Cub Lake where we had lunch before heading back. She mentioned that each time you take this tour, you might get different options from different guides, so I can't wait to take this tour again next time in Denver, but even doing this one again with her would be fun and just as enjoyable.

Timing is important - The tour was overall great - you can see that Jeff really made an effort for us to see the beauty of the park despite of the limited visibility due to the snow. I would suggest to really be cautious of when you will do the timing of the tour so you can maximize what the tour and the park can offer.
