If you have just a short amount of time in the Rocky Mountain National Park, then an organized tour…read moreis the way to go. After researching tour companies through Yelp and other review websites I settled on Rocky Mountain Rush because of their great reviews on Trip Advisor. Though we had to contend with a rainy day, RMR did a great job of showing us some of the highlights of the park. The park itself is absolutely breathtaking (separate review) and a need-to-see experience. The RMR vehicle (pretty much a really big Hummer) is spacious and very comfortable. Since it has the capacity to become an open air vehicle, it can get a little chilly inside. Comfy fleece blankets are provided. Our guide was fantastic - he seemed to know a lot about the park's history and was truly funny. Just a couple of things... not easy to make a reservation online. I sent three requests and eventually just had to call. It is virtually impossible for me to use a phone on my work days so I would have found online more convenient. A longer tour, even by just an hour or so would be great. The park is huge so don't get me wrong... I get why you can't see everything in a few hours. Besides the basic hummer tour, they also do downhill biking adventures and wine and cheese sunset tours. Their prices are on the moderate side ($50 pp). Overall, a good service!

Great tour company, excellent guides, and a fun experience for all. It doesn't hurt that they give…read moretourists who are of age a little splash of schnapps in their hot cocoa to sweeten the pot, and snacks along the way are welcome (Oreos, peanut butter crackers, etc.). Tours are relatively reasonably priced (though not cheap) for the entertainment and educational bits and bobs about the places you're taken to, but for the winter tours where your exposure to several areas of the park is limited, I do think they could knock off a few bucks. We had a bit of a mishap during my tour, where my phone was dropped and my battery tumbled off a bridge and down the side of the mountain. Our guide saved the day by literally sliding down the mountain to retrieve my battered - but still functional! - phone innards. Nevermind the details about how that happened (though I wonder if it'll make it into our guide's stories from here on out), but not having that battery would have really put a kink in the remainder of FH and I's trip to Colorado, so I was thankful, if a bit nervous, that he rescued it. We would love to come back in the summertime and take one of the off-road tours, and will definitely look up this company again if we find ourselves in Estes in warmer months.

He took our family pictures throughout the day to help save the memories. He drove us to our 3 hour train ride, captured pictures of us on the train, and then took us to the hot springs. The train ride is beautiful and relaxing. He then drive us to Vail for the evening to enjoy dinner and shopping before taking us back to our hotel. He made a special gift for everyone in our group and was delightful to visit with. You can tell how much he loves what he does and wants to make sure that you have a special trip.

The views are amazing and the end of the trip he gifted us with pennies to wish on and I guarantee you we'll be reporting back when our wishes comes true. I'd 100/10 recommend this experience. I'd recommend also booking in the afternoon we were able to ride and see during the day and also all through sunset into the evening which was very very pretty.

Our guide, Kevin, was an absolute star! He took so many pictures, gave us so much history as we drove, and pointed out all the sites to see. We even stopped for hot chocolate! Unfortunately, due to the snow, we didn't get to go tubing, but completely forgot about it til I wrote this review. Truly couldn't have imagined the tour with anyone else. Everyone was so kind from check in, to driving to the drop off spot, to coming back down after the tour. It was an incredible experience all around. Ps. Highly recommend getting the $30 insurance. A pair in our group unfortunately did tip the snowmobile over (all was fine and snowmobile was ok) but it's great to have just in case. You don't know how to navigate the turns until you're on them.

We arrived all bundled up but the blankets in the sleigh were much appreciated as well. After our sleigh ride, they offered to give us a tour of the mine as well, which was an unexpected but nice gesture.

The smiles were wide as we tore up the trails on a beautiful sunny day. The orientation was good and thorough without droning on unnecessarily, but still made all four of us feel confident and safe about operating the snowmobiles. The provided boots and helmets were in fantastic shape and were quite warm and comfortable. All of us opted for the one piece snow suits and were all glad that we did, they kept us super warm and dry all day. The trails are very well marked and even if you make a wrong turn it's really easy to figure out where you are and get back to where you were heading. The scenery around grand lake is just breathtaking. There were times when you just had to take your thumb off the throttle and simply take it all in. I can't recommend this adventure enough and I can't wait to come out and do it again! I also must mention how impressed with the staff of this location we all were.
