Overview

Guests favorite tour on TripAdvisor & the most requested Rocky Mountain National Park tour. First we drive by the Stanley Hotel and talk about its rich history, then stop at an energy vortex on your way to Sheep's Lake; where the bighorn sheep love to hangout. Take a short stroll to a glorious waterfall where you can take amazing photos.

Travel through 3 different ecosystems while climbing over 12,000 feet in elevation. While at 12,000 feet you will take a break at the Alpine Visitor Center where you can visit the gift shop or take photos of the year-round glacial cirque.

On your journey down the mountain on Trail Ridge Road, the guide will stop and allow you to stretch your legs while you admire the beautiful overlooks. There are many diverse wildlife sightings such as: Moose, Elk, Deer, Big Horn Sheep and Birds, just to name a few.
