His knowledge and insight was greatly appreciated. We saw elk, moose, deer, marmots, pika and many other small animals and birds. Jared was great at spotting them and pointing them out. He told us about the habitat and habits of the animals we saw. I recommend Jared and Yellow Wood Guiding very highly. He made our time at Rocky Mountain our best vacation ever!

Best birthday present ever! My sister and I did one of the sunrise tours. I've been on wildlife…read moretours all over the country and this one was my favorite. Jared is a very knowledgeable naturalist and he has a great entertaining, conversational manner. Not only did he find tons of wildlife for us to watch, he talked all about the animal behaviors we were seeing (that's not common in my experience - a lot of guides I've toured with end the conversation at "hey look! An elk.") Even in between seeing animals, Jared was unstumpable. I had questions about the trees in RMNP and the geology and he has so many interesting facts to share. Thanks for a great morning, Jared!

We hired Estes Park Trolleys for our wedding and were extremely disappointed with the experience,…read moreespecially given the $2,000 price tag. The trolley was contracted to make continuous loops between our two hotels and the venue from 2:15pm to 3:15pm. Despite this, several of our guests were outside ready for pickup at 3:00pm and were left behind. The trolley never came back for them, causing them to arrive late to our ceremony. Communication leading up to the wedding was difficult. The company was unresponsive to emails and calls, and key details weren't clearly confirmed until the last minute. This added a lot of stress to our planning process. After the wedding, I reached out to express my concerns, and the owner responded with a rude and defensive email. Rather than apologizing or trying to understand our experience, he blamed us and our guests, despite the fact that they were ready and waiting during the contracted time window. Weddings are stressful enough without having to deal with unreliable transportation and unprofessional customer service. I would not recommend this company to other couples looking for dependable service on their big day

They said they didnt know and would that I would have to contact the owner. I asked for the owners phone number. They told me they didnt have it. While on the trolley I called the office number, no one answered. I left a voicemail and an email about our terrible experience. The trolley was so hot. We had an infant and over 80 on board and everyone was miserable. The inside of the trolley was nearing 100 degrees. We spent $1600 on this tour for our wedding and it was the worst thing we spent money on. I could go on and on but just know the bus driver is a piece of work and the owner is even worse. He will come up with any excuse not to refund you or even just trying to get in contact with him was a pain. He offered to refund us $160, which for $1600 wasn't even a dent. We would have much rather done something different with our time and spent our money elsewhere. For the owners character, he told me it was our fault because some of our guest wore long sleeve shirts and then he took a screenshot of the weather forecast and sent it to me. Newsflash, the weather was perfect. The sun beaten, hot box, hell of a trolley was the issue. I would have gladly walked back from rocky mountain national park than take this tour again. RMNP is beautiful. 15/10 stars. But stay away from this business.

Elk hang out around the surrounding area here! I've never seen Elk up close, so this was a treat!…read more This Visitor Center is great for tourists as well as locals. Parking is plentiful. There's a parking lot out front which fills up with people watching the Elk, walking around here, & taking the shuttle buses into town and to the Rocky Mountain National Park. You can obtain lots of free information on the Estes Park area including outdoor activities, lodging, activities around town, dining, & shopping. During the peak summer season, you can take the free town shuttles to this Visitor Center, then transfer from here to the free RMNP shuttles. Avoid parking and traffic issues during the busiest times of the year. Outside are some green areas (parklets), a pedestrian bridge that will take you across the river (where we saw Elk), some art, and the Estes Park Veterans Monument. It's a nice place to wander while stretching your legs.

We rode 2 cattle drives, the Grand Canyon mule ride into the canyon and we trail ride every where we go. This was different. We rode out in to the national forest with an outfitter that specializes in hunting Elk . This was amazing. You ride up and down the mountains south east of Estes Park. I have not been on a better ride / adventure in my life time. During the ride you find home stead's now abandoned from the 1800's.

He had a answer to any question we had and narrated every step in his comfy tour van with giant windows. He was especially considerate of the physical limitations of our group and tailored the perfect visit to our likes and needs. We were blown away at his deep love and respect for people with disabilities and veterans. We are 100% happy with this tour!

Excellent experience…read more.. We were accommodated like we were family. The day we scheduled turned out to be windy, thirty MPH gusts. We called that morning and mentioned the forecast, they switched us to the next morning when conditions were close to perfect. No hassle, no hesitation. Our guide, Rob, was as friendly and professional as we could have hoped for. We had a great time conversing with him about all sorts of fishing and boating experiences we both enjoyed in the past. He was extremely helpful. He quickly figured out that my wife and I were experienced boaters... we volunteered to drive as he netted fish and put them in the live fish well. He had some great stories of outdoor adventures and we shared our experiences about surfing behind our boat in SC. We caught our limit and let a few smaller Trout free in exchange for some nice sized fish. Rob cleaned them for us since we are in a small RV with no real place to handle that chore. We left him with a nice tip and were thrilled to do so in return for the great time and service he provided. It's not a cheap trip... but the marina is closed and there would otherwise not be a chance to fish on this lake. Rob had snacks and drinks for us. He stopped off for a restroom break at my wife's request. We enjoyed the trip so much that after just two hours we called it done. Rob offered to fish another two hours, but we seriously felt that we had gotten our money's worth and headed back to our RV with four meals worth of Trout. This outfit is definitely first rate. If you want a great fishing experience this outfit will definitely deliver.
