Winter time in Estes Park! - Condo was great,! The free fire wood is a plus! Although we did not take advantage of the hot tub, it was ready and available the whole time.

Rockies in the Winter - My wife had not seen snow falling. The Rockies are beautiful at anytime of the year, but the winter season is less crowded and the short walks on the trails are sooo quiet. Great times !!

Excellent tour - HIGHLY RECOMMEND - John was an incredibly guide who was patient and kind with our group of 10. He took us to a frozen waterfall, up to see a beautiful lookout of Long’s Peak, and the Park below, and then to Sprague Lake, where we walked on the frozen lake. John really made this excursion for our family, and a few of us stayed that he “was the perfect guide for us.” He was knowledgeable about the history of Estes, and RMNP, and was great at taking photos for us, as well. I highly recommend this tour, and hope that you can get John as your guide.

Great!!! - Weather was not best for tour but our guide Julie made the best of it. Beautiful area. She was friendly, funny and told lots of interesting facts we loved it and definitely want to come back in the fall for the changing color of the trees and Elk rut.

Amazing Experience! Do THIS tour! - This was an amazing tour. We had the BEST guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient with our questions and gathering us all at each stop. There were 10 in our group and John took it all in stride. I would definitely recommend Estes Park Tours, and John as the guide! Thank you, John, for an unforgettable experience!

I Highly Recommend This Tour - Although we were in Estes Park in mid-May we took the winter tour. Jeremiah (JJ) was our tour guide and he did an amazing job of providing information about the wildlife and trees/vegetation. We traveled through 2 ecosystems and he pointed out the differences between each. He was also more than willing to take pictures of my daughter and me with our phones. We saw the Alluvial Fan, Horseshoe Lakes, Sprague Lake, and various lookouts up to Rainbow Curve. We were also able to see elk, deer, and moose. Due to COVID we drove our own vehicles and traveled behind him in his van. I was nervous about driving my car up Trail Ridge Road but the roads were cleared up to 10,000 feet and I had no problem. He communicated with us via 2 way radio. I would recommend this tour as a starting point even if you want to venture out on your own. Our park passes and reservations were set up for us so it was super easy. The bonus is that we had a group that found common ground and enjoyed each other's company and that made it extra fun!

Beautiful views - Amazing time with Jeremiah, “JJ”, with the great fortune of a snowy day but roads perfectly clear. We had the extra bonus of seeing a moose and her calf with the pristine snow as the backdrop. Jeremiah gave the perfect amount of information without it feeling overwhelming. Highly recommend this tour. Great overview of the park with opportunity for short walks to breathe the fresh mountain air and experience the views. Thanks Jeremiah for a great start to our mini vacation!
