My family and I hired Green Jeep Tours for a private excursion into Rocky Mountain National Park…read more The 8 of us piled into the converted jeep and enjoyed a 7+ hour day of adventures. Our driver and guide Michael was an absolute star, tailoring the trip to our interests. Because we booked a private tour, we got picked up and dropped off directly from our cabin! Michael was super knowledgeable of the park itself, the ecosystems, flora and fauna. He shared lots of stories about historical figures who influenced this area in Colorado. We went to several lakes, waterfalls, and hiked in several different spots. We got to see lots of wildlife - moose, elk, deer, marmot, chipmunks, pikas, and lots of birds! The day trip was a highlight of our time in Estes Park and we're so thankful for the special care Michael showed our family. We had a variety of mobility amongst the members of our group and he was very accommodating to our needs.

The little did just fine in the car seat in the backseat of the jeep while the rest of us rode in the open back.

Grab a bathroom break and drinks/snacks before you head out near the office. There are primitive bathrooms along the way.

Sarah picked us up at Stonebrook Resort, where we were staying, at 5:10 a.m. Since it was early on Memorial Day, we did not need to pay an entrance fee or schedule timed entry into the park. Sarah took us up to Many Parks Curve and pointed out the numerous peaks in the distance to the northwest while describing various points of interest below. The sun rose quietly in the east, making the entire experience peaceful and beautiful. She drove us as far as Rainbow Curve, where the road was closed, then walked us farther up the road so we could take in additional views. Throughout the trip, Sarah shared local history, explained natural events over the past century that have shaped the park, and answered our many questions. We were also lucky enough to see several bull and cow moose near their calves, bull elk, bighorn rams, and even a Colorado pika. The tour lasted approximately three hours and ended back at our lodging. We highly recommend Sunrise Tours of Rocky Mountain National Park to anyone looking for a quiet, memorable experience of RMNP in all its natural beauty. Sarah was an amazing and knowledgeable guide, and her insight, warmth, and familiarity with the park made the tour even more special.

Definitely bring sunscreen for the second tour, as you will be sitting outside in the sun for a little bit. It's cool and refreshing inside the mines, and they're full of history, right down to the wooden shafts that still have numbers painted on them from the miners of 1800s. You will learn about mining history and how harrowing and challenging it was, and see the actual tools they used, and how techniques developed over time. You will see shafts and tunnels you cannot explore but remain from days of old that inspire the imagination. You will also hear some silly ghost stories, and even see how UV light illuminates the rocks and minerals in the mines. Interested in history, gold, geology, or mining? Even if you aren't, take this tour anyway! It's well worth it, and the guides do a great job.

My grandma didn't even need to pedal because with 3 of us pedaling it was pretty easy. I liked the bridge and the little history markers along the route. Excited to come out later and see the Christmas tour! We loved the yard games and snacks at the depot too! I'm glad the confirmation email recommended bringing water and sunscreen as it was a bit hot by the afternoon, but we were prepared. We liked the snacks at the turn around too. My grandpa especially liked the history presentation, and asked the staff lots of questions about the mines and the railroad stuff. We didn't do the audio history tour but will try it next time. Overall, it was a great family day out!

Railbike Adventure was something I had never done this so I treated myself and my guests that were…read morefrom California to an adventure. It was a hot day, we enjoyed it but we all agreed it was a "one and done". The views are good but not great. We were given a speaker to take with us. No explanation of what the purpose of the speaker was so we just synced it with our iphone and played music (which the car behind us did the same so it was dueling music). Maybe that was the purpose??? I think the concept of Colorado Railbike Adventures has so much potential and they could do so much more to make the experience unforgettable but unfortunately, there's was nothing that made me want to come back or spread the word to try this experience. The staff was nice and the manager was great at sharing some history of the RR tracks, coal mining town, and history of Erie.

Joe balanced the tour with the thrill of a 4-wheel trail with time outside the vehicle in nature learning about aspens, seeing the marks of a bear cub climbing a tree, elk markings on aspens and why they chew the bark. The view from the fire tower was amazing. Joe was personable, polite, a great driver, and seemed passionate about nature. You will enjoy riding with Joe!

We signed up for the Panoramic Peaks Tour for Tuesday September 15. When we got there we found out…read morethat we would be the only 2 on the tour. We lucked into a private tour of Roosevelt National Forest. Our guide, Jay was very personable, friendly and knowledgeable. He seemed like a cool guy, relatable and interesting. He took us to a "super secret" spot, showed us some incredible views and schooled us up on the trees and animals who live there. The tower was impressive. We heard a lot more stories and facts there. As we left the tower he asked us, "since it's just the two of you, you can chose, do you want to go back and see more panoramic views or do you want to take the roller coaster back?" We chose the later. It was an absolute crazy time! Jay was really good at reading "the room". As we finished that segment he told us that he usually drives twice that fast. Holy wow. What he offered during the whole 3 hour adventure was perfect! This was definitely a highlight of our trip!
