Communication was fast and i had zero issues with anything in the program. Jason is absolutely incredible, Humongous knowledge base but beyond that he has a massive amount of experience and is an incredible teacher. Very detail and safety oriented. I did my first 2 multi pitch climbs with him and felt extremely prepared before setting off on the climbs. Jason kept me safe the whole way and coached and thought throughout. I am taking level 2 with them in a couple of days and have no doubt that will be a 10 start experience. My skill level and knowledge base has increased exponentially. I can't recommend CMS and Jason Antin highly enough. If you have an interest in anything outdoor do yourself a favor and take a course with CMS. The best experience hiring a guide i have ever had.

I was able to book a bed in a co-ed shared dorm for like $80 that night and it was pretty decent. They have a nice big parking lot and when I arrived one of the staff came from a nearby cabin and helped me move my bags inside. They have clear instructions about everything inside, it was a smooth check in and checkout. I would def stay again - it was perfect as a single night after a long day of hiking in the national park, and an early morning again hiking in the national park the next day. Decently clean too, and very homely :)

You also want to see through their guiding how your safety and fun experience is their first priority. Ryan and Matt did an excellent job of all of this. They also took the time to explain about the terrain, the environment and fun trivia to keep the hike interesting. Having a little fondue and cider at the top of the hike was a neat touch as well. They were especially helpful in making sure that I was ok during my Asthma attack, and held up the pace when I struggled on the last climb. These guys were amazing guides and we would definitely use them and recommend them anytime.

This was our first stop on our hike heading into the forrest and it was an easy climb. These falls are loud and proud plus incredibly pretty. The falls thunder down Glacier Creek due to the heavy snowmelt. It's definitely a favorite spot for many people as it's only 1.6 miles so it's easy to access. Remember to pace yourself due to the altitude. I witnessed lots of huffing and puffing from people having to stop and catch their breath. We stayed long enough to take some pics and watch the falls and then moved on. Plenty of seating all around the falls for everyone. It's great short hike for those that just want to feel like they are "out there". Views are truly epic as is the entire park. Parking earlier in the day can be challenging. I recomment arriving very early or come later in the afternoon to secure a spot. Remember to pack in, pack out and LEAVE NO TRACE.

It's a pretty easy hike, be warned it can be steep at times, but if you're mostly fit, you'll be able to do it. There were a few icy patches at times, but I was fine in regular boots. The views going up just keep getting better and better, they were all so beautiful. You HAVE to check out the bathroom near the top as that might be one of the best views the whole hike! The small lake at the top was pretty, especially iced over, but nothing compared to the views on the actual hike. It was a really awesome, cool trail in the middle of Estes park without having to pay to get into the Rocky Mountain National Park, and it was super easy to get to. I would highly recommend.

Seriously, millions of visitors enjoy the park every year. I stayed in the gateway town of Estes Park, which is literally minutes away from the park entrance. I did the Nymph, Dream, Emerald, and Haiyaha Lakes via Nymph Lake Trail, as well as Bear Lake. The trails were in great condition, and even though the trails were heavily trafficked, everyone was pretty courteous. The views were simply amazing. Do note that you might need to be acclimated to the higher atmosphere (=thinner air) and so hiking may be more difficult than your usual if you're coming from lower elevations. I visited during elk mating season, and while I did see elk in the park, I saw even more in the parks of Estes Park!

Lived in denver for 17 years, traveled all over the world and this is my first trip to RMNP. Wow,…read morewhat was I thinking waiting so long. One of the Crown Jewels of the National Park Service, RMNP sits just outside of Estes Park and 90 minutes from Denver. We camped at Moraine Park and with that came a guaranteed timed entry and all access to the park. It was the perfect way to avoid booking entry to the park and separate booking for Bear Lake area. Our campsite had a phenomenal view on Long's Peak and was walking distance to Elk meadow. Every morning and evening we were front row to the bull elk bugling and enjoyed a great camping experience. We saw so much wildlife but the stand outs were, Moose. Elk. Deer. Coyotes. Fox. Marmot. Pika. Blue Jay. The park is a spectacular spotlight on the Rocky Mountains. We hiked from meadows to mountain tops and enjoyed many epic views and endless fresh air. Got caught in a big rain storm and watched a hiker find his missing keys!! Please note, elk meadow is restricted a bit during this time to let the elk mate. We watched a coupled disregard that and wander down to get wedding photos near the elk herd, wedding dress and all. Park security did not find that amusing. I'm sure those were very expensive wedding photos lol. So much to see and experience. Now I understand why every tourist coming to Colorado needs to see this park.

More than the name sugests, Boulder Wilderness Shuttle offer some fabulous sightseeing tours…read more(http://boulderwildernessshuttle.com/services_sightseeing.html). I did the day tour of Rocky Mountain National Park highlights and couldn't have been happier. According to many, I was going at the wrong time. I did this tour in the off season (Nov 09). The weather was cold and part of the high road closed; however, in my honest opinion, I couldn't have asked for more. The park was bare of tourists. I got to experience the wilderness without battling the crowds. PERFECT! Mother nature truly puts on a show in the Rockies and thanks to Nick (tour guide for the day) we saw some of America's great scenery. Despite spending the day in the national park I am acutely aware of how little we saw in the grand scheme of things; however, thanks to BWS we couldn't have gotten a better taste of the glory that is the Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) If you go in the later months of the year be sure to pack a coat, and (of course!) your camera. We saw natures beauty at it's best from the high snowy peaks to the frozen lakes and grassy plains. The animals came out on show as well; both elk and coyote! Joshua is the man on the ground when it comes to liaising with Boulder Wilderness Shuttle. He kept in touch from the first time I made contact to the days I spent in Boulder. Offering more than just a tour he had great advice on local activites and accommodation. He makes it his business to ensure safety for his clients while providing activities to remember. Boulder Wilderness Shuttle offers an exceptional service and sets a high standard for its competitors. I'll be back!

I drove the full loop around this park and made several stops along the way. Here at Many Parks Curve, you get a full panoramic overview of Rocky Mountain National Park. It is a very beautiful view. I had some cloud coverage which always makes photos look better. They call it "Many Parks" because Moraine Park, Upper Beaver Meadows and Horseshoe Park are all visible at this viewpoint with Deer Mountain and Longs Peak in the background. I could even see parts of Estes Park. It is such a breathtaking view and one of my favorite viewpoints. I stood here for some time and took it all in. There is parking near the viewpoint and an overflow lot on the other side of the road. The viewpoint itself is located at a sharp turn on Trail Ridge Road. There is a long platform to walk on that has a guardrail. Keep an eye out for cars going around the curve as you cross the road.
