    This full-day tour was a very nice way to spend the day seeing Rocky Mountain National Park, especially if you're not very comfortable driving in the high mountains. The tour guide, Phil, was very knowledgeable and he also wasn't afraid to admit when he wasn't certain about the answer to a question. He was very good at spotting wildlife for the group to see. He kept up a lively commentary on our way up to and through Rocky Mountain National Park and he had lots of great information to share. On the way back, he was respectful of the fact that we were probably tired and he turned on some music and let us be alone with our thoughts, check pictures we'd taken, etc. Phil was punctual and kept the group moving at the time he stated for people to be back to the van. I appreciated this because I've been on many tours where time limits were a mere suggestion and were not adhered to. The fact that this was a small group (8 people) probably contributed to the ability to be on time. There were a couple of things that were stated on the day's itinerary that we did not get to do, unfortunately. One person on the tour asked whether we would be crossing the Continental Divide, which was stated in the itinerary, but we did not get there. (Phil did point it out, but we did not cross it and get the opportunity for a photo as stated.) The other thing I noticed was that we did not see the Alluvial Fan, as was stated in the itinerary. That was something I would have liked to see. Phil did ask as we were starting our journey to name something we were looking forward to during the day. Perhaps it is my fault for not specifically mentioning this one item at that time, but I will admit that I was a little bummed that we didn't get to see this. I did end up giving the tour five stars, however, because I do think Phil showed us other interesting things, such as several stops for elk since it was their mating season, and we did fill up practically the entire length of our 10 hours together.

  • A great way to experience...

    We had a wonderful day in RMNP. Our tour guide, Ben, was excellent. He's very knowledgeable about the geology and ecosystems in the Park. We had a delicious picnic lunch picked up in Lyons. We were fortunate to have 3 sightings of bull elks with their harem. It truly was a wonderful day.
